The historic Jummah Mosque in Shamakhi, one of the oldest mosques in the South Caucasus, is generally accessible to visitors and can be explored effectively both solo or with a guide for deeper historical context; a typical visit lasts between 30 minutes to an hour. There are no significant seasonal restrictions, though respectful attire (modest clothing, head covering for women) is mandatory, and it's advisable to avoid peak prayer times if not participating. Entry is typically free, though donations are appreciated, making it a highly cost-effective and enriching cultural experience in Azerbaijan.
