It is an excursion to Gobustan National Park and Museum, about 40 miles (64 km) southwest of the centre of Baku on the west bank of the Caspian Sea, to see the ancient petroglyphs. Gobustan is assumed one of the cradles of civilization, as ancient petroglyphs have been identified as belonging to the 12-8th century B.C. In addition to the Gobustan, we will also visit en route active (bubbling) mud volcano site. On the way back we can tour Bibi Heybet Mosque, a recreation of the mosque with the same name built in the 13th century but completely destroyed by the Bolsheviks in 1936.

While generally not dangerous to people, as they are far outside of most city centers, it is believed that six shepherds and over 2,000 sheep were killed by a mud volcano in Bozdagh, Azerbaijan. • Bibi Heybet Mosque The Bibi-Heybat Mosque includes the tomb of Ukeyma Khanum (a descendant of Muhammad), and today is the spiritual center for the Muslims of the region and one of the major monuments of Islamic architecture in Azerbaijan. The mosque at the beginning of the 20th century. Left to right: Arcade (behind the minaret is visible), the tomb and new mosque building. The latter two were built in 1911. The old mosque was situated in the southern part of the tomb, while there was a 20-meter high minaret in the west part of the mosque. Later a crypt and two niches were added to the mosque to the south of the minaret. On the niches, there were inscriptions containing the name of Fatali Khan, whose tombstone marble slab is now in the Azerbaijan State Museum of History. From 1305 to 1313, Mahmud Ibn Saad built the mosque's minarets. The top of the thread and stalactites, raised by a small pillar, surmounted by a semicircular dome of Rebrov. Railing minarets were patterned with stone grill. Graphic studies showed that the height of the minaret was about 22 m.

This trip I was booked by Azerbaijan Tourism LLC.It is the best travel company .The Mercededs van was comfortable and the guides was nice and friendly.We start by visit Mad Volcanoes by the Russian car Lada.It was cool the driver was drive qickly in the sand,I touch the mud it have (Urea,Praffin, sulfur, magnesium and zinc) you can take mud free.But,most people do not bring bottle.So,The drivers buy mud bolltes by 30$. After the mud volcano we went to the Gobustan National Park it was cool and we saw art of the stone ages.This tour not for everyone because you walk in the rocks and it slppery. It is fantasic and highly recommonded.

Nous avons effectué cette visite l'après-midi à partir de 14h, pour un prix de 55$ par personne. Notre chauffeur et le guide Nurlan sont venus nous chercher à domicile pour partir à Gobustan afin de visiter le musée puis le parc. La visite du musée s'est fait avec un guide présent sur place qui était très sympathique puis la visite du parc avec Nurlan. C'est vraiment un havre de paix cet endroit ! Puis, nous sommes partis pour voir les volcans de boue à bord d'une Lada, c'était une expérience très marrante pour arriver au moment du coucher de soleil sur les volcans, c'était un moment inoubliable. Nous avons ensuite continué à Yanar Dag (environ 1h de route) depuis les volcans. Malheureusement, Ashtegah était fermé donc notre guide est revenu nous chercher un autre jour pour aller à Ateshgah ce qui était vraiment très gentil de sa part (sans surcoût additionnel). Je recommande très vivement de faire vos visites avec Outdoor Caucasus.
