Sanan Aleskerov has a personal history with the village of Kish. He covered archaeological excavations in the village and was acquainted with the legendary Norwegian archaeologist Thor Heyerdahl (in whose honor a bust was erected in the village).

And a few years ago he finally moved to Kish, where he runs courses and creates stunning new photographs.

In addition to the exhibition of his photo works, the gallery also presented the publication of Sanan Aleskerov's new book based on the photos of Kish and the nature around it.

For our part, we are already encouraging all our guests and visitors to Ruh Achari to take a walking tour to the new photo gallery.

It should be noted that this is a landmark event both for the village and for Azerbaijan as a whole. It is the first private photo gallery opened not in the capital (as it happens usually) but in a village in the west of the country.

With so many attractions in the village and region, I realize that my mom and I are going to have to make our own guidebook for visiting tourists.
