Embark on a day tour from our location to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Gobustan National Park and the Absheron Peninsula. This excursion will provide an opportunity to witness the remnants of the Stone Age and delve into the rich historical legacy of Zoroastrianism.
Upon waking up early in Baku, one makes their way towards Gobustan, where they find themselves in a picturesque setting near the Bibi-Heybat Mosque. This journey leads them to an industrially advanced oil well, providing insight into the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
Next, travelers proceed to the Gobustan Museum of Petroglyphs, an immersive experience featuring both indoor and outdoor exhibits. Nestled around 70 kilometers from Baku, this museum showcases prehistoric rock drawings and petroglyphs etched onto cave walls and rocky surfaces. These carvings offer a window into the ancient Azeri civilization’s culture, economy, and worldview, painting a vivid picture of life thousands of years ago.
Continuing their exploration, the group ventures inland to the coastal regions of Azerbaijan, known for their abundance of 400 active mud volcanoes. They pause to enjoy a delightful meal at a nearby local restaurant, sampling traditional Azerbaijani cuisine while taking in the stunning views of these geological marvels.
Afterwards, visitors pay homage to the ancient Zoroastrian Ateshgah Temple, once a sacred site for fire worshipers. This historic structure offers a glimpse into the spiritual practices of a long-gone era.
To conclude the day, travelers set out to witness the mesmerizing spectacle of the Yanardag, a continuous flame burning atop a hillside on the Absheron Peninsula. This natural phenomenon adds another layer of awe-inspiring beauty to their journey through Azerbaijan.
