About the market
The trading city of Sederek
Dozens of buildings, hundreds of rows and the wholesale scope of an entire region — how the largest market in Baku is arranged.
About the market
Dozens of buildings, hundreds of rows and the wholesale scope of an entire region — how the largest market in Baku is arranged.
About the market
The Sederek Trade Centre is located in the Lökbatan settlement of the Garadagh district, in the south-western part of Baku, right on the Baku Ring Road. This location is no accident: it is convenient for trucks to reach the market without passing through the city centre, while shoppers come from all over the country.
From above, Sederek looks like a separate city — long rows of buildings with blue, red and green roofs stretch across a valley between hills, surrounded by car parks and access roads.
About the market
The market is arranged like a labyrinth: the buildings are divided by product category, with aisles and driveways between them where carts loaded with boxes roll past. There are wholesale warehouses, retail stalls, and a separate "premium" building with pricier goods.
Sederek is called the largest and most affordable trade centre in the Caucasus. The exact number of shops and sellers varies across open sources, but it amounts to thousands of trading points under the market's common name.
