Explore the fascinating rock carvings dating back to the Stone Age and visit the interactive Qobustan Museum to gain insight into the area’s rich prehistoric history.

One of Azerbaijan’s most unique natural attractions. Experience the bubbling and gurgling of these rare geological formations, which account for nearly half of the world’s mud volcanoes. Get a firsthand look at this natural phenomenon in the lunar-like landscape, creating a truly otherworldly experience.

Visit the Ateshgah Fire Temple, a sacred site revered by Zoroastrians and Hindus. This ancient temple, with its perpetual natural gas flames, has been a place of worship for centuries.

Witness the remarkable natural phenomenon at Yanardag, or “Burning Mountain,” where flames have been mysteriously burning on the hillside for millennia due to underground natural gas reserves. This continuous fire, burning night and day, is a mesmerizing and iconic symbol of Azerbaijan, often called “The Land of Fire.”

Great day out of Baku exploring the sights. Relaxed, easy going guide and driver made this a thoroughly enjoyable day out. Driving out beyond Baku gives you a real insight into the landscape and history- the drive along the Caspian see, seeing all the active oil rigs is quite unexpected. The highlight for us was changing vehicles and hopping into a Soviet-era Lada for the off-road drive to the mud volcanoes - this should be highlighted as one of the attractions of this trip. Highly recommended

We went with a private driver to the above places. It was not terribly expensive and he spoke good English. The Qobustan museum was most interesting and the petroglyphs were cool. The mud was very unusual and the Fire Temple and mountain was a bit of a let down. We arrived at sunset so that we could see the fire at it's best but it was a bit of an anticlimax.
