Upper Caravanserai
Yuxarı Karvansaray
A Silk Road caravanserai from the 18th and 19th centuries, with a two-story arcade around a courtyard. Today it is a characterful hotel where guests can stay.
The Upper Caravanserai is the largest surviving Silk Road caravanserai in Sheki, with about 240 rooms arranged around a square courtyard. Its two-story pointed arcades are carefully spaced. Today it operates as the Karvansaray Hotel. Guests can stay in rooms with thick walls and vaulted ceilings, while non-guests may enter the courtyard to look around and take photos. The courtyard teahouse serves black tea with Sheki halva. It stands along the old town's main street, about 200 meters from the Lower Caravanserai.
