Guba District, Administrative district in northeastern Azerbaijan.
Guba is an administrative district in northeastern Azerbaijan with varied terrain ranging from valleys to mountainous areas. The region contains several communities, extensive apple orchards, educational institutions, and medical facilities serving the local population.
The district gained its administrative boundaries in 1930 during the territorial reorganization of the early Soviet period in Azerbaijan. This division established the administrative framework that continues to define the region today.
Carpet weaving remains a living practice in many villages, with weavers creating patterns that reflect local traditions passed down through families. Visitors can see these crafts in homes and small workshops where the work continues as part of daily life.
The district is accessible by road through its main settlements, though conditions can vary depending on the season. Visitors should plan ahead and allow flexibility, as rural areas may have limited transportation options.
Several communities in the district speak their own local languages found nowhere else in Azerbaijan or the surrounding region. This linguistic diversity is a distinctive feature that sets the area apart from neighboring territories.
