Pirşağı

Pirşağı (also, Pirshaga and Pirshagi) is a settlement and municipality 34 km away from the railway station of Baku, Azerbaijan.

Located on the northern coast of Absheron, it is in the Sabunchu district of Baku city.

[1] It is called Pirshagi (the shah of feasts) because it was initially a settlement where pilgrims gathered.

Pirshagi is famous for its "gold dust" sandy beaches and its grapes and figs.

The local climate and sand are considered to be curative, which explains why many members of the Azerbaijan elite have their summer residences in the city, including those of composer Gara Garayev, singer Bulbul, artist Elbey Rzaguliyev, actor Agasadikh Geraybeyli, and many others.
