Travel guide
Understand
Most of the 13,800 people (2013) of the Qakh city are Azerbaijani people, but the town and the whole region are very multicultural. Avar people, Tsakhur people and Muslim Georgians (called Ingiloy) also live here. The city has become a mountain resort for rich people, so there are now various hotels, resorts, restaurants, cottages, and tea houses in 5 km north of Qax.
Get around
Qax is a tiny town and can easily be explored on foot.
