  • Mud Volcanoes, Qobustan, Azerbaijan
    This land has been an active mud volcano zone for hundreds of years now. Sprayed all over the territory, it creates a surreal landscape that distinctly reminds the moon’s surface. Back in days people used to believe that this place is a homeland for jinns (demons in Azerbaijani culture). Leading to mud volcanos, a small trail that brings a certain angle of romantism into the mix, creating a majestic scenery. Leaving this beautiful place appears to be hard, but we can assure you, that there’s so much more to see along the way.

    On our way we will also stop at the first oil well that was drilled in Azerbaijan and in the world in general. Drilled in 1846, it first gave oil on July 14, 1848.

    60 minutes
  • Ateshgah - Fire Temple, Baku, Azerbaijan
    Azerbaijan is declared to be the country of fire and it has historical basis. For long centuries Absheron’s lands were covered with naked flames coming out of the ground. Rumors about this miracle spread around the world pretty quickly and in the first century BC, Hindu Brahmanites and Persian Zoroastrians have decided to build a majestic temple there. They gave this place a significant name – Ateshgah. Azerbaijan was always situated on the cross-roads, therefore back in the days there wasn’t a day when the country wasn’t full of merchants who needed a place to stay and rest. For these purpose on the territory of Absheron a magnificent caravanserai was built. Visiting it, tourists will have a chance to hear about every day life of those who lived there long time ago, the traditions of fire worshippers and so much more.
    30 minutes
  • Yanar Dag, Baku, Azerbaijan
    Yanardag is one of many magical places in Azerbaijan. For many centuries fire flames were bursting out of the land itself, giving the mountain the place is situated in its name (Yanar Dag – “Burning Mountain”). Located nearly at the top of the mountain itself, it gives tourists not only the great overview of the surroundings and the fire itself, but also leaves a satisfying “out-of-this-world” experience. On this meaningful note, we can say that the Gobustan-Absheron is coming to its natural ending and we return to Baku safely. The Gobustan-Absheron tour lasts for around 9 hours, starting in the morning and finishing the journey late in the evening. It takes some time, but by the time guests of Azerbaijan Travel International return to Baku, they can see the bigger picture and carrying the deeper understanding of the miracle that Azerbaijan is.

I was real unimpressed by this tour. No “amazing or WOW” moment, as I was waiting and waiting for something to wake me up. The Mud Volcanoes, as with the rest of the country scenery, is a muddy wasteland with occasional “burbing” of methane gas through puddles of mud. Boring! I expected an intellectual explanation of the place, instead I was unimpressed and falling asleep! They make a big deal out of Qobustan, which is only a bunch of rocks with some scratches on the rocks. Unfortunately, many of the “scratches” seem fresh as if the park managers wanted to highlight them, as they were originally practically invisible. If you have been to the Alps or Rocky Mountains, Qobustan will put you to sleep. Absheron Fire Temple is no longer what it was because in the past they exploited all the natural gas from the ground. They were very careful not to criticize the government for screwing up this historic site. Now it is on “life support” with artificial gas pumped in. Again, boring visit and I was falling asleep as the tour guide rushed everyone from room to room, trying to create excitement for this boring tour. Yanardag is another unspoken governmental disaster as pumping of gas nearby has ruined the original beauty of this site. Now it looks like a outdoor fire place, real boring and artificial. Again, I was falling asleep from the stupidity of it all. Lunch was a bit more interesting, except that the unexperienced waiters crash-banged the plates and all the food ended up on the floor. This woke me up and made me laugh, finally. The roaming cat in the restaurant also was happy to eat some chicken off the floor. The guide was friendly, but as a linguist I must confess that listening to someone speak “broken English” for several hours starts to become annoying and one one tunes out from the gibberish. Please, if you are going to charge expensive amounts for your tours, get someone to guide the tour who speaks English properly and fluently! Therefore, in light of the above comments, I do NOT recommend this outrageously expensive tour.

Well organized tour with comfortable car. All the places are worth visiting and the night tour shows the city in a different light. But the highlight of the tour was our guide Emir who explained in detail about each of the site that we visited as well as about the history of the country. We certainly gained a lot of knowledge through this tour from Emir. Our kid just loved him and wanted to be with him throughout the tour. He also obliged us many times by clicking pictures of us whenever we asked. Thank you Emir for your valuable service.
