📍 Start at Diri Baba Mausoleum
Your Shamakhi & Lahij Tour begins in Maraza Village with a visit to Diri Baba Mausoleum, one of the region’s most distinctive spiritual landmarks. Built into the rock and surrounded by local legends, this monument creates a strong first impression and adds a mystical, historical atmosphere to the day.
📍 Visit Shamakhi Juma Mosque
The route continues to Shamakhi Juma Mosque, one of the oldest and most important mosques in the Caucasus. This stop adds historical depth to the journey and introduces visitors to one of Azerbaijan’s most significant religious and architectural sites.
📍 See Yeddi Gumbez
Another highlight of the day is Yeddi Gumbez, the Seven Domes mausoleum complex connected to the rulers of the Shamakhi Khanate. Set against the landscape, this site offers historical value and a striking sense of place, making it one of the most memorable parts of the route.
📍 Discover Lahij Village
The second half of your Shamakhi & Lahij Tour takes you to Lahij Village, one of Azerbaijan’s most famous mountain settlements and best-known centers of traditional craftsmanship. Known for ancient stone streets, old architecture, and artisan culture, Lahij offers a different atmosphere from the earlier stops and gives the journey a more lived-in, cultural character.
📍 Traditional copper craftsmanship in Shamakhi
Lahij is famous for its handmade copperware, and this part of the Shamakhi & Lahij Tour lets you see that tradition up close. Walking through the workshops and village streets allows visitors to experience a side of Azerbaijan deeply rooted in local skill, heritage, and everyday life.

Perfect tour with GUIDEDAZERBAIJAN
This tour was one of the most enriching cultural experiences I've had. The Diri Baba mausoleum was hauntingly beautiful, and the Yeddi Gumbez complex was fascinating. I would highly recommend this tour, and GuidedAzerbaijan did a fantastic job coordinating everything. Thanks a bunch!!

Shamakhi Adventure
Elnara, our guide, was exceptional – she not only gave us detailed insights into the history but also made the trip fun and engaging. The handmade copper products in Lahij are a must-see. Thanks to guidedAzerbaijan for offering such a well-organized tour))

On the way to Gabala visit to Main Sites:Shamakhi Town and Lahij village in Ismayilli
We started with our day with Orkan at 09:00am. It was good timing to start a wonderful day. We drove along the way and first stop it was in a market to get some snacks for the day trip. We visited to Diribaba Mausoleum. It was one of the historical sites, which i vsited before - had long stairs to reach to up. From the top of the building you can see the all village. Then we went to Mosque. it belongs to 743 and renovated so new. All places where i visited, was very clean and tidy. I loved it a lot. Then we drove 1 hour and reach to Lahij. Lahij has a lot of handcraft shops. My guide informed me, they have nice spices for buy. I bough zangefil from there, I hope when I use it it will be usefull hhhhhhh. We did our lunch also in Lahij village in one cafe. It was good. It ancient village. Highly recommended to the history lovers and for bloggers.

Tour with amazing mountains views
Took full day tour to Lahij through amazing mountains panorama! Tour itinerary was arranged very well and adjusted a bit to my preferences as was private tour. Especially was interesting to see Shamakhi chemistry! Had few stops by my request to buy local fruits and food. Guide and driver were very professional. Guide had full information about all visited places and also explained about culture, cuisine, traditions, etc. I would definatelly recommend it for long day trip.
