Baku City Tours

Embark on an informative journey through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Gobustan National Park and the Absheron Peninsula, where one can explore the remnants of the Stone Age and delve into the rich historical legacy of Zoroastrianism.



After picking up guests at their accommodation in Baku, proceed towards Gobustan. Upon reaching the destination, make a detour to explore an industrially developed oil well near the Bibi-Heybat Mosque.

Next, continue along the route to the Gobustan Museum of Petroglyphs, situated approximately 70 kilometers away from Baku. This museum houses both indoor and outdoor exhibits featuring prehistoric rock engravings and petroglyphs etched onto cave walls and rocky surfaces by early nomadic tribes. These carvings provide valuable insights into the cultural practices, economic systems, and worldview of the ancient Azeri civilization.

Upon arrival at the Gobustan Museum, embark on a scenic drive through the coastal region of Azerbaijan, renowned for its 400 active mud volcanoes. During this excursion, dine at a traditional Azerbaijani restaurant where one can enjoy delectable culinary delights prepared according to local traditions.

Following lunch, pay a visit to the ancient Zoroastrian Ateshgah Temple, once used as a sacred site for fire worshippers. As part of the itinerary, conclude the day's activities by witnessing the continuous flame of the Yanardag, a natural gas fire burning on a hillside within the Absheron Peninsula.

Throughout the day, visitors will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in various historical and archaeological sites, providing a comprehensive overview of Azerbaijan's rich heritage and geological wonders.
