- World’s First Oil Well - Azerbaijani historians have discovered documents in Russian archives that confirm an oil well was drilled at the Bibi-Heybat field near Baku in 1846. This well is considered the world’s first, predating commercial oil production in the US by 13 years.

- Bibi-Heybat Mosque - Bibi-Heybet (aunt of the stern) is a ‘pir’ located near the mountains of Baku within a large cemetery. The tomb of Bibi-Heybet, a relative of the Prophet Muhammad, is situated in a grand mosque frequently visited by Muslims. Bibi-Heybet is renowned for her miraculous healing powers. Many Muslims wish to be buried near this mosque.
- Mud Volcanoes - A mud volcano is a geological formation featuring a hole or depression in the earth’s surface, or a cone-shaped elevation with a crater, from which mud and gases are continuously or periodically erupted. These volcanoes are primarily found in oil-rich and volcanic regions.
- Gobustan Rock Art - Gobustan is one of the world’s most renowned historical and archaeological reserves, serving as an open-air museum with a vast collection of invaluable historical artifacts.
- Ateshgah - Fire Temple - The “Ateshgah” Fire-worshipper temple dates back to the second and third centuries. During this period, Zoroastrianism spread in Azerbaijan, leading to the construction of Zoroastrian temples in the region. The Ateshgah temple in Surakhani was active until the 7th century, when Islam was adopted in Azerbaijan.
- Yanardag State Historical, Cultural and Natural Reserve - Yanardag is one of the most remarkable natural attractions on the Absheron Peninsula. It is a flaming mountainside that cannot be extinguished by rain or sand and has been burning for millennia. The awe-inspiring fiery landscape is easily explained: natural gas is released from the upper layers of soil and ignites upon contact with oxygen.

Beautiful and Unique Experience! - This tour was incredible! So many spectacular and unique sites were included. Our multilingual guide, Riad, was extremely knowledgeable, engaging and hospitable, adding to the memorable tour. The driver Rasland was kind and highly skilled. Also, the overall environment was especially friendly and inclusive. Highly recommend this to anyone, including other solo female travellers.

Great guide! - Aynur was a wonderful guide with lots of knowledge about the different sites to share. There are plenty of stops with plenty of time at all of them. I never felt rushed. Also the place we had lunch was very nice in an authentic old building, bathrooms were clean and the food was great (and included in the price)We also had a great driver that drove safely. I would highly recommend this tour!
On a side note I would recommend buying plenty of water at the short super market stop before Gobustan national park if you are visiting in the summer. It came in handy.

The tour was very good.... - The tour was very good. There were no filler activities like stops at the souvenir shops, all places were really worth visiting. The guide Riad was excellent, with a nice sense of humour. He fluently switched between English, Russian and Turkish. The tour is really worth its time and money.
