Door to door from Baku city or the airport — fixed price per car, day or night.
Your driver picks you up at your hotel, apartment, or the arrivals hall of Heydar Aliyev International Airport — with a name sign and up to 60 minutes of free waiting after landing. The drive west takes around two hours on a good highway, climbing gently from the Caspian plain into the green Shirvan foothills.
On the way, ask your driver to stop at the Diri Baba Mausoleum near Maraza — a two-storey shrine carved into the cliff face, one of the most striking sights on the route. Short photo stops are free.
Shamakhi was the capital of the Shirvan state for centuries and is one of the oldest towns in Azerbaijan. Its Juma Mosque, founded in the 8th century, is among the oldest mosques in the Caucasus, and the Yeddi Gumbez ("Seven Domes") mausoleum complex on the hillside holds the tombs of the Shirvan khans. The surrounding valleys are Azerbaijan's main wine region, with several wineries open for tastings, and the Pirgulu highlands above the town host the national astrophysical observatory.
Shamakhi works well as a half-day trip from Baku or as a first stop on the way to Gabala. With a private transfer, the schedule is yours — leave after breakfast and be back in Baku by evening.
~2 h for 125 km, depending on traffic leaving Baku and conditions on the way.
