The 15 Best Shamakhi Tours from Baku

1.Shamakhi And Gabala Tour (All inclusive)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 815 reviews · from $39Our pick

All-inclusive Shamakhi and Gabala day trip from Baku with Juma Mosque, Tufandag mountain views, tea tastings, and lunch.

“Overall the weather was hot in mid-June (except at the last destination, Gabala), and the travelling time was huge (7-8 hours on the road), also the van had congested seats. Gabala was the best stop but due to other stops in the day tour, we couldn't spend much time. A lot depends on the tour guide as well. In my case, the journey was boring & not a good experience. My recommendation is to take a private tour and stay in Gabala for a day at least.”

But time given in "Tufandag Winter Summer Tourism Holiday Complex" is too short i.e. 1 hour including cable car. Ideally, we should get more time (minimum of 2 hours) This tour is a must whenever you visit Azerbaijan”
