Discover Ancient Petroglyphs: Travelers will encounter thousands of rock carvings dating back over 40,000 years, illustrating scenes from prehistoric life, such as hunting, dancing, and rituals. These petroglyphs provide a window into the lives of ancient humans who once lived in the region.

- Mud Volcano Azerbaijan - Mud volcanoes are among the most unique and intriguing natural attractions encountered on the tour. Unlike traditional volcanoes, mud volcanoes do not emit molten lava. Instead, they release a cool mixture of water, clay, and natural gases like methane, bubbling up from deep within the earth.
These eruptions form small, dome-like mounds of mud that can range from a few meters to several kilometers wide. The mud is often mineral-rich, attracting not only tourists but also scientists interested in geology and Earth’s processes.
At Gobustan, travelers have the chance to see these mud volcanoes up close. They can observe as the mud bubbles and occasionally erupts, creating a constantly changing landscape. The area around the volcanoes often resembles an alien world, with its greyish, cracked surface, offering visitors a truly otherworldly experience.
- Bibi-Heybat Mosque - When travelers visit the Bibi-Heybat Mosque as part of their experience, they step into a site rich in spiritual significance and history. Situated on the shores of the Caspian Sea in Baku, this mosque is an iconic example of Islamic architecture in Azerbaijan. It is a modern reconstruction of a 13th-century mosque that was destroyed during the Soviet era.
Upon arrival, travelers are greeted by the mosque’s striking exterior, featuring ornate minarets and a large, elegant dome. The facade is adorned with intricate patterns and Arabic calligraphy, reflecting the traditional Islamic architectural style. Inside, the mosque is equally impressive, with beautifully crafted interiors, including chandeliers, detailed tile work, and prayer halls that exude a peaceful ambiance.
Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the mosque’s historical and cultural significance.
