Quba

Northern Azerbaijan

The Caucasus Mountains - my final road trip in the Caucasus region.

Driving northwest on a modern highway from Baku, past the industrial city of Sumqayit, my destination is the small city of Quba. (145k – 90 mi.)

By chance I found the Terrace Hotel.  The terrace overlooks the deep gorge of the Qudiyalçay River. It’s late fall, but the weather is mild so it’s dinner on the terrace.  At sunrise, the distant snow-capped mountains are rosy-red. After breakfast, I’m going!
