   Choosing to book with Emil from Nakchivan Travel for my one day in Nakhchivan was an easy decision—fellow travelers had nothing but great things to say. With a specific itinerary in mind, I arranged a customized full-day program for myself and one other person. Emil helped us quickly plan and book exactly what we wanted. He picked us up from the airport on time and dropped us off after. Throughout the day, he made sure we had a good time on the tour itself. The tour was well-organized. We were able to cover the main attractions, including: Alinja Castle, Sheikh Khorasan (Fazlullah Naimi) Xanəgahı, Garabaghlar Mausoleum, Duzdag Physiotherapy Center, Momine Khatun Mausoleum, Noah's Mausoleum, and Yusif ibn Kuseyir Mausoleum. Emil is undoubtedly an exceptional guide; not only is he passionate, but also extremely knowledgeable about the area. He definitely lived up to my expectations. Highly recommend! See more..

   State Parks • Nature & Wildlife Areas
   Shahbuz State Reserve is a wealth of beauty, so many animals in view, birds everywhere and statuesque trees of all varieties. We did a short hike during our time in Nakhchivan up and around Batabat Lake and the necropolis and it is wonderful to see parks and reserves like this to protect the flora and fauna. See more..
   
9. 4.0 Juma Mosque (6 reviews)
   - Ordubad is a gem
   Historic Sites • Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
   
   
   The mosque is one of about 4 traditional ones in Ordubad. Actually this medieval oriental city far off the center of the far-off Naxcivan republic offers stunning buildings and is one of the most impressive places I ever visited. It has its very own special atmosphere. Go there on any account if you should ever have the possibilty. The train ride from Naxcivan city is slow and spectacular, passing through the Aras river valley alongside the Iranian frontier between Naxcivan City and Culfa/Jolfa offering great scenic views.

    - Small but interesting enough
    Art Museums
    
    
    Nakhchivan has lots of little museums and they're all free so it's well worth popping into a few. This is one of the newest and celebrates an artist who is little known outside Azerbaijan - most of the paintings displayed seem to be undisguised copies but the museum is colourful and has an element of glitz.

    Гидроэлектростанция Аракс - это совместный проект Азербайджана и Ирана, организованный на пограничной реке Аракс. Первый гидроагрегат пущен еще в 1970г. Сложно назвать ГЭС достопримечательностью. У нее другое назначение. See more..
    
16. 2.0 Bala Mosque (1 review)
    - Бала мечеть
    Religious Sites
    Бала мечеть расположена в селе Енгинджа, соседствующем с районным центром Шарур. Мечеть средневековая, но достаточно скромная. Скорее, это центр религиозной жизни местных жителей, чем достопримечательность для туристов. See more..
