Discover the ancient petroglyphs of Gobustan National Park, explore the lunar-like landscape of the mud volcanoes, and visit the Ateshgah Fire Temple and Yanardag on a day trip from Baku.
Discover the captivating history, natural wonders, and cultural heritage of Azerbaijan on a tour that combines the highlights of Gobustan and the Absheron Peninsula. Explore ancient petroglyphs, unique mud volcanoes, and impressive fire temples, all within a single day.
Begin your tour with a visit to the Gobustan State Historical and Artistic Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The reserve is home to over 6,000 ancient petroglyphs carved into rocks, dating back 40,000 years. These engravings depict prehistoric life, hunting scenes, rituals, and dances. The on-site museum provides an interactive introduction to the site's history, culture, and geology.
Explore one of Gobustan's most fascinating natural phenomena: mud volcanoes. Azerbaijan is home to nearly half of the world's mud volcanoes, and these bubbling mounds offer a surreal, lunar-like landscape. Learn about their geological significance and the myths surrounding them.
On the way to the Absheron Peninsula, stop by the stunning Bibi-Heybat Mosque, an iconic structure with a rich history. This spiritual landmark is a reconstruction of a 13th-century mosque and is considered a significant religious site for Azerbaijani Muslims.
Visit the Ateshgah Fire Temple, a historical Zoroastrian place of worship. Located in Surakhani, this pentagonal complex dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries and is famous for its eternal flame fueled by natural gas. The temple offers insights into the ancient fire-worshipping practices of the region.
End the tour at Yanardag, or "Burning Mountain," a natural gas fire that has been blazing for centuries on a hillside. This unique phenomenon, where flames burst continuously from the ground, showcases the natural abundance of gas in Azerbaijan. It is also linked to the country's ancient Zoroastrian heritage.
