Ashab-i Kehf is a natural cave complex shrouded in legend. It is claimed to be the site of a story in the Koran known as the ‘Seven Sleepers’, in which seven youths suffering from the oppressive regime of a despotic local flee to a cave with a dog and fall asleep there for over 300 years. Today the complex, complete with a mosque and shrines accessed via a network of stairs, is an important pilgrimage site for local Azerbaijanis who come to make wishes and pray. The peaceful site is located about 12 kilometres east of Nakhchivan City and off the main road to Julfa.
