The Israeli fairy tale of Red Sloboda!

The Place Where Rich Jewish Millionaires Are Born

Azerbaijan has an amazing place where its own culture, language and religion reign. A place where people live by their own rules and their own “politics.” A place that, despite its uniqueness, for more than 300 years peacefully coexists with other nationalities. And that's all Azerbaijan. In hospitality, peace, kindness. Ready to get acquainted with a small, seemingly village that gave this world great scientists, cultural figures, politicians, athletes and businessmen included in the famous Forbes ranking? Well, then we went to study the unique phenomenon of success in Red Sloboda!

Who is this tour for?

Red Sloboda is a settlement of mountain Jews, and if you are interested in the history of this people, then this tour is just for you. And even if before that you were not interested in this issue, but you like unusual, original places, believe me, after our trip you will definitely want to get acquainted with the Jewish people.

Great attractions of a small community

Despite the fact that the settlement is home to about 3,000 people, there are interesting attractions here that are worth seeing. There are seven synagogues, each of which has its own purpose (which we learn about during the trip).

The Six Dome Synagogue is quite significant, and not only because of its interesting layout. The building was built in 1888, and during its existence it managed to survive many events. The center of religious education, a warehouse, a sewing shop, a prayer house - many roles fell on the fate of the building. Inspired by the peaceful atmosphere of the synagogue, we learn what this six-domed building is a symbol of. Many houses that meet on the way during a walk can be safely called monuments of architecture - so rich, pretentious and pompous they have a look. One house is more beautiful than another, and that’s not surprising.

Red Sloboda is famous for successful immigrants who do not forget their native land and, if possible, equip mansions here.

Just recently, a large-scale museum was opened in Krasnaya Sloboda, where you can see artifacts from all over the Caucasus. We will be one of the first to visit this museum.

Achieve worldwide recognition and return to your roots

Red Sloboda is a community with which one should take an example regardless of their religion. After all, members of this great family are characterized by a very important value - always remember who you are, and return, albeit for a short time, to their native lands. This is the birthplace of the hero of Azerbaijan, Albert Agarunov, who died in the Karabakh war, the memory of which will always live in the heart of the Azerbaijani people. Here were born the richest entrepreneurs of Russia – Zarakh Iliev and God Nisanov, Soviet orthopedist Gavriil Ilizarov, poet Yasha Mashiyakhov and other famous personalities, which you will learn during the tour. All of them have achieved success in different industries, but they have one thing in common: they invest in their small homeland, donate money to kindergartens, schools, synagogues, improve roads. Well, isn't that a good role model?

Fairy forests, mountain rivers of the Red Sloboda and the peaks of the Greater Caucasus

In addition to immersing yourself in the history of Red Sloboda, you will find a walk through the beech and rabble forests. If desired, you can plunge into the streams of stormy mountain rivers. You will walk up the stairs built by captured Germans in order to facilitate the way to the Red Sloboda, see the arched bridge of the reign of Alexander the 3rd, the bath where Alexander Dumas bathed, and get acquainted with many other attractions that will make our program absolutely unforgettable.

And, of course, being in Guba, we will try the famous Guba baklava, and many other dishes made of fish and meat.
