Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Mud Volcanoes, Dasgil Hill, Qobustan 3700 Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan is a unique and classic area where mud volcanism is developing on our planet. Over 350 types of mud volcanoes (active, extinct, buried, oil-producing, underwater, island volcanoes) are found in the dry part of eastern Azerbaijan and in the Caspian Sea adjacent to it. Due to the number, variety and activity of these nature monuments, there is no place in the world like Azerbaijan. Our country is considered a homeland of mud volcanoes. There are more than 100 volcanoes in the Absheron peninsula, Shamakhi-Gobustan, Southeast Shirvan and Baku Archipelago.
A muddy-hill relief is cultivated in the area of the National Reserve of Gobustan, where Mud Volcanoes are of great significance, reaching the height of 407 m. above sea level, like the Turaghay Mountain.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Bibi-Heybat Mosque, Baku Azerbaijan
The magnificent Bibiheybat Mosque, built in a classic oriental style, is perfectly designed with white marble and dome-colored glass. Here, in a mosaic made of glass, Surat al-Nisa of the Qur'an is written. The mosque, which is 5 meters high, can accommodate about 3,000 people at the same time.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Yanar Dag, Binagadi-Balakhany Highway, Baku 0125 Azerbaijan
We will continue our trip by visiting most famous fire Fire Mountain (Yanardag), which has a ten meters long wall of fire, that never extinguishes and is burning continuously alongside the edge of the hill.
The volcano, which has been nominated for UNESCO World Heritage, has been burning for hundreds of years. With the natural gas coming to the surface, the skirt of the burning mountain is flooded with visitors day and night.
Before the 7th century, the Volcano was used as the temple of the Mecus, and the buildings around it were destroyed and the fire continued to burn.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Ateshgah - Fire Temple, Сураханский район, Baku Azerbaijan
Ateshgah in the Suraxani district of Baku is one of the three Mecusi temples in the world.
According to Zoroastrianism, this place is as sacred as Mecca. There are 3 shrines in Iran, India and Azerbaijan.
Every tourist who enters the cellars can feel the wonders of this place. For example, as you enter 12 cells, you will see a very strange sight as you look at the flames burning in the dome of the four-storey building in the yard of Ateshgah. At this point, it seems to you that you are standing on a step of the flame. Or when you get to the 18th cell and stop there for a while, you hear strange sounds. It seems to someone that they are talking. Mixed voices are clearly heard, but they do not understand what they are saying.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center, Heydar Aliyev Avenue, 1/1, Baku 1033 Azerbaijan
