The museum also provides a great introduction to the famous rock carvings and archaeological sites of Gobustan that you’ll discover during the tour.
  • Mud Volcanoes
    Get ready to discover one of Azerbaijan’s most unusual natural wonders — the famous mud volcanoes of Gobustan. Azerbaijan is home to around 350 of the world’s known mud volcanoes, making it one of the best places to experience this unique landscape. Travel off the main road in a special Soviet Lada SUV and get close to these fascinating active volcanoes. Watch the bubbling mud and explore a landscape that feels almost otherworldly. The special off-road vehicle is provided at no extra cost and is included in your tour. The visit to the mud volcanoes is weather-dependent.

  • Absheron Region
    Enjoy lunch at a traditional local restaurant. Please note that the cost of lunch is not included in the tour price.
  • Yanar Dag
    Azerbaijan’s iconic "Burning mountain"-Yanardag is located north of Baku city, around 23km from the Old Town. The main attraction of Yanardag is a spectacular hill with a constantly burning wall of flames. Thanks to tectonic shifts and volcanic material below the earth’s surface, natural gas leaks from the rocks. The Italian trader and traveler Marco Polo even mentioned the flames during his travels to Baku and its surroundings, but most probably the fire has been burning for over more years at Yanardag. The fire line surrounding the foot of the summit will give you an impression of the Land of Lights and leave an unforgettable memory of the tour. To protect Yanardagh and attract tourists here, this area was declared a historical, cultural and natural reserve in 2007.
  • Ateshgah - Fire Temple
    After lunch, we’ll visit Ateshgah, also known as the Fire Temple of Baku. Located in the Surakhani district, this unique temple was once a place of worship for Zoroastrians, Hindus, and Sikhs over the centuries. The name ‘Atash’ means ‘fire’ in Persian, and the temple was built around natural gas flames that burned continuously. Dating back to the 17th–18th centuries, Ateshgah became an important pilgrimage site until the late 1800s. The temple has a five-sided structure with fortress-like walls, an arched entrance, and a central altar in the courtyard where fire-worshippers once gathered.
