Gobustan and Absheron Tour

Gobustan and Absheron Tour

At the designated time, we will pick you up at the Baku City Tour's Office for a tour of the Absheron Peninsula. Our first stop is the site of the city's first oil well, drilled in 1871.

We will continue by passing the Bibi-Heybat mosque, then head to Gobustan National Park to admire over 6,000 petroglyphs from the Upper Palaeolithic to the Middle Ages. We will also board an old Soviet cab to get closer to the mud volcanoes, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After viewing the mud formations, we will have a buffet lunch around 1 pm in the vicinity of Baku.

Finally, we will visit the Absheron Peninsula to see the Yanar Dag fire mountain and tour the Temple of Fire, where we will learn about Zoroastrianism, a significant religion in the area.

The tour concludes with a return to the meeting point in Baku after approximately 7.5 hours.
