Baku to Shamakhi Transfer
- 125 kmDistance
- 1h 45mDriving time
- ₼ 155from
A private transfer north-west to Shamakhi — about 125 km and just under two hours, climbing steadily out of the dry Absheron plain into vineyard country.
Shamakhi was the capital of the Shirvanshahs, and its Juma Mosque is among the oldest in the Caucasus. The town also sits on the main road to Gabala, which is why many travellers stop here on the way rather than making it a destination on its own.

Frequently asked questions
Can we stop in Shamakhi on the way to Gabala?
Yes, and it is the natural way to do it — Shamakhi is directly on that road. Book the Baku to Gabala transfer, add an hour or two of waiting, and the driver stops here on the way at no extra distance cost.
What is the road like?
Good asphalt the whole way, climbing gradually. It is a comfortable drive in any of our vehicles; nothing about this route requires a 4x4.
Is the Diri Baba mausoleum on this route?
It is close by, near Maraza, and easy to add as a stop. Mention it when you book so the driver plans the timing rather than being asked on the day.
Can the driver take us to the Yeddi Gumbaz mausoleums?
Yes — they are a short drive from the town centre. Add waiting time and the driver can cover both Juma Mosque and Yeddi Gumbaz comfortably in an hour or so.
