Workation in Sumqayit: the essentials
Founded in 1944 as an offshoot of Baku and given city status in 1949, Sumqayit became one of the Soviet Union's big industrial centres. It is now Azerbaijan's second-largest city, with about 427,000 people on the Absheron Peninsula near the Caspian, some 31 km from the capital, and home to Sumqayit State University. The industrial legacy is the honest catch: Sumqayit was once ranked among the most polluted places in the world. Heydar Aliyev International Airport is about 35 km away.
