You can travel to Sheki by car or take one of numerous inter-city buses leaving for Sheki from the Baku International Bus Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once an important trade hub along the Silk Road, Sheki continues to exude a spirit of the past. In the Sheki Fortress, call into the shebeke workshop to see spectacular mosaics being painstakingly composed of thousands of tiny pieces of stained glass held together in wooden lattices of all shapes and sizes. The local artisan will gladly show you the process and even let you build your own shebeke or buy one of the ready pieces as a souvenir.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-gallery-type-fluidcarousel.kb-gallery-id-_3e560e-73 .kt-blocks-carousel .kt-blocks-carousel-init .kb-slide-item{padding:4px 5px;}.kb-gallery-type-fluidcarousel.kb-gallery-id-_3e560e-73 .kt-blocks-carousel .kt-blocks-carousel-init.kb-carousel-mode-align-left .kb-slide-item{padding:4px 10px 4px 0;}.kb-gallery-id-_3e560e-73.kb-gallery-ul.kb-gallery-type-fluidcarousel .kt-blocks-carousel figure .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-_3e560e-73.kb-gallery-ul.kb-gallery-type-fluidcarousel .kt-blocks-carousel figure .kb-gal-image-radius img{height:300px;}.kb-gallery-id-_3e560e-73 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery kb-gallery-wrap-id-_3e560e-73\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-type-fluidcarousel kb-gallery-id-_3e560e-73 kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover kb-gallery-filter-none\" data-image-filter=\"none\" data-lightbox-caption=\"true\"><div class=\"kt-blocks-carousel kt-carousel-container-dotstyle-dark\"><div class=\"kt-blocks-carousel-init kb-blocks-fluid-carousel kt-carousel-arrowstyle-whiteondark kt-carousel-dotstyle-dark\" data-slider-anim-speed=\"400\" data-slider-type=\"fluidcarousel\" data-slider-scroll=\"1\" data-slider-arrows=\"true\" data-slider-dots=\"true\" data-slider-hover-pause=\"false\" data-slider-auto=\"false\" data-slider-speed=\"7000\"><div class=\"kb-slide-item kb-gallery-carousel-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kb-gallery-item-has-link kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sheki-Shebeke-Workshop-Azerbaijan1.jpg\" class=\"kb-gallery-item-link\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sheki-Shebeke-Workshop-Azerbaijan1.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"378\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sheki-Shebeke-Workshop-Azerbaijan1.jpg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sheki-Shebeke-Workshop-Azerbaijan1.jpg\" data-id=\"15541\" data-link=\"https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/sheki-shebeke-workshop-azerbaijan1\/\" class=\"wp-image-15541 skip-lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sheki-Shebeke-Workshop-Azerbaijan1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sheki-Shebeke-Workshop-Azerbaijan1-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kb-slide-item kb-gallery-carousel-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kb-gallery-item-has-link kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sheki-Shebeke-Workshop-Azerbaijan2.jpg\" class=\"kb-gallery-item-link\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sheki-Shebeke-Workshop-Azerbaijan2.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sheki-Shebeke-Workshop-Azerbaijan2.jpg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sheki-Shebeke-Workshop-Azerbaijan2.jpg\" data-id=\"15540\" data-link=\"https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/sheki-shebeke-workshop-azerbaijan2\/\" class=\"wp-image-15540 skip-lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sheki-Shebeke-Workshop-Azerbaijan2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/visitsilkroad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sheki-Shebeke-Workshop-Azerbaijan2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facilities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Master-class<\/li><li>Shopping<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shebeke is a unique local craft of Sheki, a city in north-western Azerbaijan.
