Sheki is surrounded by snowy peaks of the Greater Caucasus, in some places reaching 3000-3600 m. The mountain forests around the area prevent the city from floods and overheating of the area during summer. During the Soviet rule of Azerbaijan, many came to Sheki to bathe in its prestigious mineral springs. Because of its natural beauty, Sheki is one of the towns of Azerbaijan known for its greatest tourism potential.

Lahıc is a village and municipality on the southern slopes of Greater Caucasus within the Ismailli Rayon of Azerbaijan. Population is approximately 860 people, who speak the Tat language.

Lahic is a notable place in Azerbaijan, with its authentic handicrafts traditions, particularly related to copper. The village's carpet and rug crafts are also well known in Azerbaijan and the South Caucasus. Lahic has an old sewage system (some experts claim that it was built 1000 – 1500 years ago).

Lahic is one of the most ancient human settlements in Azerbaijan. During the Medieval Period, Lahic became an important center of craftsmanship. Master craftsmen included jewelers, blacksmiths, carpenters, carpet makers, engravers, painters, tanners, shoemakers and bast shoe makers, sock weavers and others.

The majority of the population speaks the Tati language, an Iranian language. In addition, the Azerbaijani language is also widely spoken. Lahic is an example of early urbanization and architecture, as shown by its cobbled streets and squares, together with its developed sewerage systems and water pipelines. Subterranean kurabandis (sewerage channels), made from river stones, and dating back to almost one thousand years, are thought to be one of the most ancient sewerage systems used in the world.
