Red Sloboda — Jewish Heritage, Synagogues, Millionaires and Caucasus Nature Red Sloboda is a unique Mountain Jewish settlement in Azerbaijan, known worldwide as a place where successful entrepreneurs, scientists, athletes and business leaders were born. For more than 300 years, this community has preserved its religion, language and traditions, living peacefully alongside other cultures — a true example of Azerbaijan’s multicultural harmony.

This tour is ideal for travelers interested in Jewish history, heritage and culture, as well as those seeking authentic and unusual destinations. Despite its small population, Red Sloboda is home to seven active synagogues, each with its own role. The highlight is the Six-Dome Synagogue, built in 1888, which has served as a religious center, school and community hub. You will also see impressive mansions built by successful natives who continue to invest in their homeland.

The program includes a visit to a newly opened Jewish heritage museum, featuring artifacts from across the Caucasus. You will learn about famous figures connected to Red Sloboda and their contribution to culture, science and business.

Beyond history, enjoy Caucasus nature: beech and hornbeam forests, mountain rivers, a 19th-century arched bridge, a historic bathhouse visited by Alexandre Dumas, and scenic walking routes. The tour ends with a tasting of Guba pahlava and traditional Azerbaijani meat and fish dishes.
