The Bibi-Heybat Mosque is a historical mosque in Baku, Azerbaijan. The existing structure, built in the 1990s, is a recreation of the mosque with the same name built in the 13th century which was completely destroyed by the Bolsheviks in 1936. The Bibi-Heybat Mosque today is the spiritual center for the Muslims of the region and one of the major monuments of Islamic architecture in Azerbaijan.
A national historic landmark and a World Heritage Site, Gobustan Rock Art Cultural Landscape preserves ancient stone relics, rock carvings, and mud volcanoes. Located on the Greater Caucasus mountain ridge, the reserve shelters more than 6,000 engraved images of prehistoric lifestyles, hunting, and animal and plant life, dating back between 5,000 and 40,000 years.
During this trip, you will get a great chance to see these amazing active volcanoes from a very close distance. Watch mud bubbling out of the earth at Mud Volcanoes, strange geological formations bursting warm liquid set against a backdrop of mountains in Gobustan National Park. Fizzy, snorting bubbles and an occasional sound of snoring make a mesmerizing spectacle.
The Temple of Eternal Fire - Ateshgah - is an authentic Azerbaijani exotic. It is well-known practically all over the world. This territory is known for such unique natural phenomenon as burning natural gas outlets (underground gas coming onto surface contacts oxygen and lights up). The temple in its present state was constructed in the 17th-18th centuries.
One of the most famous and popular tourist places of the "eternal flame in Azerbaijan is the mountain of Yanar Dag. Actually, it is rather a hill than a mountain, with natural gas burning on its slope from ancient times.

An excellent day from start to finish. Our guide for the day was so knowledgeable and great fun. We visited Temples, Burning Mountains, Ancient Cave Drawings and Mud Volcanoes....amazing. The off road to the volcanoes in a Lada 4x4 was thrilling. Hotel pick up and Drop off. A must do when visiting Baku.

I had a fantastic full day tour of Gobustan and Absheron, my guide was extremely knowledgeable and the information he shared about Azerbaijan as a whole was very interesting. I was lucky enough to have a private tour and both my guide and driver where very helpful, they were happy to stop off at little places along the way that we came across. I will never forget the journey to the mud volcanoes, so much fun. Thank you for a memorable day

Vi var tre personer från Sverige som besökte Baku i juni. Jag kontaktade Azerbaijan-Tours innan vi reste dit. Jag blev uppringd av Suleyman som hade bott och arbetat i Sverige och därför talade bra svenska vilket var trevligt. Vi bokade tre utflykter. En av dessa var till Gobustan and Absheron. Det var en trevlig tur där Gobustan museum var mycket intressant. På hemvägen blev vi bjudna på lunch på ett trevligt fiskrestaurang vid havet. Suleyman var en mycket bra chaufför och guide och det var kul att prata svenska med honom På hemvägen blev vi bjudna på lunch på ett trevligt ställe. Suleyman var en mycket bra chaufför och guide och det var kul att prata svenska med honom

Vielen Dank an Orkhan und das Team von Azerbaijan-Tours für einen tollen Ausflug in die Umgebung von Baku! Schon die Buchung der Tour lief sehr gut: auf unsere Anfrage erhielten wir sehr schnell eine Antwort, alle unsere Fragen wurden dabei kompetent und freundlich beantwortet. Am Tag des Ausflugs wurden wir pünktlich zur vereinbarten Zeit an unserem Hotel abgeholt. Unser Fahrer und unsere Reiseleiterin Ülker waren überaus hilfsbereit, sehr nett und freundlich. Während der Fahrt zwischen den einzelnen Sehenswürdigkeiten haben wir von Ülker viel Wissenswertes über die einzelnen Ziele erfahren; konnten uns aber auch wunderbar über viele weitere Themen des täglichen Lebens austauschen, so dass die Fahrtzeit wie im Fluge verging. Die Stopps beim Ateshgah-Feuertempel, beim brennenden Berg Yanardag, den Schlammvulkanen, dem Nationalpark Gobustan und der Bibi-Heybet-Moschee haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Dieser Ausflug ist eine tolle Möglichkeit, verschiedene interessante Ziele in der Umgebung von Baku an einem Tag zu besuchen und lohnt sich sehr. Die Organisation durch das Team von Azerbaijan-Tours war perfekt - wir danken euch für einen tollen Tag und empfehlen euch hiermit gerne weiter!
