Qabala District, Administrative district in northern Azerbaijan

The district extends from the southern slopes of the Great Caucasus Mountains to the Alazan-Haftaran valley, containing peaks reaching 4466 meters in elevation.

Archaeological findings indicate that the ancient city of Gabala, located within the district, served as the capital of Caucasian Albania from the 4th century BC.

The Gabala International Music Festival brings together classical and jazz musicians from multiple countries each August for outdoor performances in natural settings.

The district maintains a network of 486 rivers, with 12 major waterways exceeding 10 kilometers in length flowing from the Greater Caucasus slopes.

The Tufandag mountain complex combines winter sports facilities with agricultural zones where tobacco cultivation and silkworm breeding take place.
