Zaqatala District, Administrative district in northwestern Azerbaijan.
The district spans across 1,350 square kilometers of varied terrain between the Ganykh Ayrichay valley and the southern slopes of the Major Caucasus mountains.
The territory belonged to Caucasian Albania before becoming a kingdom under Georgian influence, later transitioning into the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic until 1991.
The district population includes Azerbaijanis, Avars, Tsakhurs, and Ingiloys, with Sunni Islam and Orthodox Christianity representing the main religious practices.
Two bus stations connect travelers to different routes while an international airport provides transportation options, though domestic flights to Baku remain suspended.
The Zagatala State Reserve, established in 1929, protects three rivers and numerous plant species native to the southern slopes of the Major Caucasus.
