Gobustan and Absheron Tour

Gobustan and Absheron Tour

We will pick you up at the Baku City Tour's Office and begin our tour of the Absheron Peninsula. The first stop is the city's first oil well, drilled in 1871.

Next, we will pass by the Bibi-Heybat mosque and continue to Gobustan National Park, home to over 6,000 petroglyphs dating from the Upper Palaeolithic to the Middle Ages. Here, you can board an old Soviet cab to get closer to the mud volcanoes, which are designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After exploring the mud formations, we will have a buffet lunch around 1 pm near Baku.

Our final destinations include the Absheron Peninsula to see the Yanar Dag fire mountain and visit the Temple of Fire, where we will learn about Zoroastrianism.

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