Highlights
  • Gobustan Rock Art - The Gobustan Museum of Rock Arts of Primitives is located in Gobustan, Azerbaijan and showcases a collection of ancient rock art dating back thousands of years. The museum is dedicated to preserving and displaying the prehistoric rock carvings, petroglyphs, and stone inscriptions that are found throughout the Gobustan region.
  • Mud Volcanoes - The Mud Volcanoes in Qobustan, Azerbaijan, are a unique natural phenomenon where mud erupts from the earth’s surface. These volcanoes are not the traditional fiery volcanoes that spew lava, but rather they emit a mixture of mud, water, and gases. The mud is cold and usually does not pose any danger to the surroundings.

The Mud Volcanoes in Qobustan are known for their otherworldly appearance, with small cones formed by the dried mud deposits. The area is scattered with numerous mud volcanoes of varying sizes, with some reaching heights of up to several meters. Visitors to the site can witness the bubbling mud pits and observe the mud slowly oozing out of the ground, creating a surreal and mesmerizing landscape.

  • Bibi-Heybat Mosque - The Bibi-Heybat Mosque in Baku, Azerbaijan, is a significant religious site housing the tomb of Bibi-Heybat, a descendant of Prophet Muhammad. The mosque, rebuilt in the 1990s, features a blend of Islamic and Azerbaijani architecture and is revered by Muslims as a holy place. The complex includes tombs of other descendants of Prophet Muhammad and is a popular pilgrimage site. The mosque is known for its beautiful design and historical importance in Azerbaijan’s Islamic heritage.
  • Ateshgah - Fire Temple - The Ateshgah Fire Mountain in Azerbaijan is a unique natural gas fire phenomenon that has been burning for centuries. Located in the suburb of Surakhani in Baku, the fire mountain is fed by natural gas seeping through the ground, which ignites when it comes in contact with air. The flames of the fire mountain have been burning continuously, creating a mesmerizing display of fire and flames that have fascinated visitors for generations. The site is considered a sacred place by Zoroastrians and Hindus, who believed the fires held mystical and spiritual significance. Today, the Ateshgah Fire Mountain is a popular tourist attraction and serves as a reminder of Azerbaijan’s rich cultural and geological heritage.
  • Yanardag State Historical, Cultural and Natural Reserve - Yanardag, also known as the “fire mountain,” is a natural gas fire that continuously burns on a hillside in Azerbaijan. The flames are believed to have been burning for thousands of years, fueled by the natural gas reserves in the area. The flames shoot up to a height of 2 meters and can be seen for miles around, especially at night when the fiery glow illuminates the sky.
  • Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center - We will have a photo stop outside of Heydar Aliyev Center, the most beautiful building in the world, 2013
