• Gobustan Rock Art - The Gobustan region is located to the southwest of Baku. The term “Gobustan” originates from the words “gobu,” meaning “ravine,” and “stan,” meaning “place,” thus translating to “ravine area.” The word “gobu” is of Turkic origin and signifies “a dried-up river valley.”

The tour begins at the Gobustan Museum, where visitors can explore ancient human remains and tools dating back to the Mesolithic period. Following this, the tour proceeds to the mountain to view authentic rock paintings in the open-air museum. The journey then continues to the nearby Mud Volcano, close to the Gobustan National Museum.

• Mud Volcanoes - Azerbaijan ranks first globally for the number of mud volcanoes, with approximately 300 located on the shore, in the sea, and on islands. This trip offers a fantastic opportunity to observe these remarkable active volcanoes up close.
• Yanardag State Historical, Cultural and Natural Reserve - Yanardag translates to “burning mountain” and is situated on Azerbaijan’s Absheron Peninsula. Due to the country’s abundant natural gas reserves, which occasionally seep to the surface, Yanar Dag is one of several naturally occurring fires that have intrigued and amazed visitors to Azerbaijan for centuries.
• Ateshgah - Fire Temple - For a deeper understanding of Azerbaijan’s fire worship history, visitors should travel east of Baku to the Ateshgah Fire Temple. “Since ancient times, they believe that their god resides here,” explains our guide as we enter the pentagonal complex, constructed in the 17th and 18th centuries by Indian settlers in Baku. Fire rituals at this site date back to the 10th century or earlier. The name Ateshgah is derived from the Persian term for “home of fire,” and the complex’s centerpiece is a cupola-topped altar shrine built over a natural gas vent.
