Walking
Start from the central area of Shamakhi, near the Shamakhi Museum of History and Ethnography. Head southwest on Jafar Jabbarli Street towards the intersection with Nizami Street. Continue straight on Nizami Street until you reach the bus station. From there, look for a minibus (known locally as a 'marshrutka') heading towards Qobustan. The bus should be marked with 'Qobustan' and will take about 30-40 minutes to reach the vicinity of Diri Baba Mausoleum. Once you arrive at the Qobustan bus stop, ask locals for the direction to the mausoleum; it is about a 20-minute walk from the stop. Follow the path leading up the hill towards the mausoleum's location, which is well-signposted. The mausoleum will be visible from a distance due to its distinct architecture.
