12.40 p.m. - Sarykum dune.
The Sarykum dune is a lonely sandy dune rising from the foothills of the Caucasus. Similar dunes are typical for landscapes of deserts or seashores. But the dune looks awkward here: the deserts of Central Asia are hundreds of kilometers to the east from here. Where such a huge amount of sand came from in the Dagestan foothills is a mystery that has given rise to romantic legends. The famous movie "The White Sun of the Desert" was shot here, on the Sarykum Dune. We'll do a scene from a movie and do a photo shoot.

15.30 - Dubki village observation deck – where you can get the most spectacular photos of the Sulak Canyon. The depth of the canyon reaches 1920 meters, which is several meters deeper than the depth of the Grand Canyon in the USA, and the length is 53 km. It is the deepest canyon in Europe. Sulak Canyon is one of the most famous and visited natural attractions of Dagestan. The turquoise waters of the canyon look great in panoramic images.

To the right of the Heart of Chechnya Mosque is the main square of the city, which was named after Lenin in Soviet times, was renamed Freedom Square after the collapse of the USSR, and is now named after Akhmat Kadyrov.
The business card of modern Grozny is the Grozny City complex. It includes seven skyscrapers. The tallest of them is the 40-storey Phoenix. There is also one 30-storey tower, three 28-storey and two 18-storey.
In the city center, on Mayakovsky Street, you can see the memorial of Glory. It is dedicated to the Victory in the Great Patriotic War and to the first president of the Chechen Republic, Akhmat Kadyrov.

Transfer to the airport
07.30 - Breakfast at the hotel restaurant, room release.
08: 00 - Departure to Derbent.
10:30 a.m. - Excursion to the medieval fortress of Naryn-Kala.
Naryn-Kala is an ancient pre—Arab citadel, part of the Derbent fortress, connected to the Caspian Sea by double walls designed to block the so-called Caspian Gate to the Persian empire. Naryn-kala fortress is the main pearl of ancient Derbent. Tourists from all over Russia flock to the southernmost city of Russia to see the medieval residence of the Persian Shah, now protected by UNESCO.
12:00 - Guided tour of the old magals.
The ancient streets of Derbent. These streets are called magals, which means "quarters" in Persian. There are nine of them in Derbent, and all of them are the oldest, historical part of the city, a world architectural monument. But despite this, life is in full swing here, as it was many centuries ago. In fact, it is a living open-air museum. While walking, we will definitely look into a small shoe factory where leather shoes are still sewn by hand, and any pair of handmade shoes can be bought for 2500-3000 rubles.
14:00 - Lunch at the Bosphorus restaurant with elements of national dishes. Tasting of Dagestan brandy factories' products.
15:00 - Guided tour to the Lun ekranoplane.
The main function of this ingenious invention is the destruction of enemy ships. The missile carrier flew in an unusual way: during the flight, the Lun ekranoplane rose a couple of meters and flew over the water's edge, barely touching it. Despite its impressive size, it could reach speeds of up to 500 km/h, which was 5 times higher than the maximum speed of all ships known in those years. Such an advantage simply left no chance for the enemy, but the missile carrier had never participated in combat.
16:30 - Transfer to Derbent. A walk along the embankment and Mamedbekov Street.
18:30 - Accommodation in a hotel in Derbent
day 04
Day 4. Excursion to South Dagestan, Agul district.
Type of accommodation:Hotel
On this day, our schedule is as follows:
Agul district
, Goa village
, Tpig village, Chirag
village, Derbent
08.00 - Breakfast at the hotel.
08.30 - Departure to Agul district. We are heading to the village of Chirag, one of the oldest villages in Dagestan. The village is practically uninhabited. It is many times larger than Gamsutl in size. Our way lies through picturesque gorges. It's a paradise for filming – there are practically no people, especially tourists. A mountain river runs along the gorge. Arch bridges built before the revolution in tsarist times have been preserved across it. Bridges are amazing in their variety. There are bridges with one, two, three and even four arches!
12:00 - Excursion to Goa village.
Yes, it's a coincidence in name with Goa, which is in India. Goa village is located in Agul district. And it belongs to the oldest villages of Dagestan.
13.00 - There are no cafes and restaurants on the road. We will have a lunch of 3 types of kebabs in a real Dagestani family. We all cook kebabs together, and drink fragrant tea from a real samovar with dates.
14:00 - We reach the village of Tpig, the center of the Agul district. We transfer to jeeps. We travel 20 km on a flat dirt road. Along the way, we look at small waterfalls and take pictures.
15:00 - Chirag is one of the oldest villages in Dagestan. It is located in one of the picturesque corners of Dagestan at an altitude of 2,320 meters above sea level, occupying the second highest place in Europe and the Caucasus. Today, the village is almost entirely in ruins, but two dozen families still live there. Chirag is much bigger than Gamsutl village, more interesting, more accessible. But, much less well-known. We believe that in the coming years, a stream of tourists will arrive there, and the local places will lose their untouched appeal. In the meantime, this new direction is accessible and untouched. Here you can enjoy the silence, tranquility and stunning colors of nature!
19:00 - Return to Derbent.
21:30 - Check-in at the hotel.
