Why go

✦

A living Silk-Road craft village — watch coppersmiths at work, a craft recognised by UNESCO.

✦

Atmospheric cobbled stone streets and an old stone water system, in a state cultural reserve.

✦

A scenic day trip from Baku through a dramatic canyon landscape.

Lahij is an ancient coppersmiths' village on the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus in Ismayilli, inhabited for some 2,000 years and now a state historical-cultural reserve. Its cobbled lanes still ring with the craft — copperwork, leather and more — that made it a Silk-Road name.
