Dagestan is a journey into culture, CRAFTS, and genuine hospitality
Dagestan is not just a point on the map of the Caucasus — it is an entire world where mountains meet waters of the Caspian Sea, and centuries of history live on in ancient fortresses and mountain villages.

It is a land of master jewelers and carpet weavers, warm and hospitable people, and incredible natural contrasts: the deepest canyon and the largest sand dune in Europe, the longest mountain tunnel, and a 5,000-year-old fortress standing on the seashore.

Located on the eastern edge of the Caucasus, Dagestan offers a distinctive perspective of the region. Easily accessible via the international airport in Makhachkala, it provides comfortable seaside hotels along the Caspian coast as well as authentic ethnic-style lodges and mountain cottages surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
