Dagestan

Republic of Dagestan is best known within Russia for the meeting of the Greater Caucasus and the Caspian Sea. Its territory runs from high mountain valleys and dry foothills to a long Caspian shoreline, giving this North Caucasian republic an unusually varied setting. The Sulak River has cut the deep Sulak Canyon through limestone terrain, while the ancient city of Derbent on the southern coast preserves the Naryn-Kala Citadel and other UNESCO-listed fortifications. Dagestan is also noted for its exceptional ethnic and linguistic diversity, reflected in local crafts, food, and traditions.
