Begin your adventure from the meeting point and head toward the fascinating mud volcanoes near Gobustan, a rare geological phenomenon created by eruptions of mud, water, and gas. Continue to Gobustan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as an open-air museum featuring more than 6,000 ancient rock carvings that tell stories of prehistoric life along the Caspian seaside.
On your return journey, stop at the Bibiheybat Mosque, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture. The mosque you see today, rebuilt in the 1990s, is a reconstruction of the 13th-century original destroyed in 1936, preserving its deep historical and spiritual significance.
Next, explore the Ateshgah Fire Temple on the Absheron Peninsula, an ancient Zoroastrian site built over natural gas vents that once produced an “eternal flame.” Conclude your tour at Yanar Dag (Fire Mountain), where flames rise continuously from the hillside, earning Azerbaijan its legendary name — the Land of Fire.
