Rejseplan
Turen starter om morgenen omkring 8:30. Den nøjagtige starttid vil blive leveret af vores guide en dag før turen. Vi mødes på mødestedet.
Bibi - Heybat-moskeen. Moskeen blev bygget i 1267-1300. Det var en sjælden konstruktion, både med sin skønhed og skabelseshistorie. Bibi-Heybat-moskeen omfatter graven til Ukeyma Khanum (en efterkommer af Muhammed), og er i dag det åndelige centrum for muslimerne i regionen og en af de største monumenter af islamisk arkitektur i Aserbajdsjan. Det er lokalt kendt som "moskeen i Fatima". Den nuværende struktur af moskeen blev bygget i 1990'erne, som er en genskabelse af moskeen med samme navn.
Det afhænger af vejret. Aserbajdsjan er kendt i første omgang for mudder vulkaner i verden. Disse vulkaner spredes gennem Aserbajdsjan og de lokale kalder dem "Yanardagh" (brændende bjerg), "gaynacha" (kogende vand) og "bozdag" (grå bjerg) ved siden af dets geografiske navn - mudder vulkaner. 350 ud af de 800 mudder vulkaner kendt i verden er placeret i Aserbajdsjan. De fleste af dem er beliggende i Gobustan-regionen. Nogle af vulkanerne betragtes som naturmonumenter og naturlige nationale ressourcer i Aserbajdsjan. Vi tager dertil med en særlig taxa på grund af vejforholdene. Under denne tur, vil du få en stor chance for at se disse fantastiske aktive vulkaner fra en meget tæt afstand. Vi vil give den ekstra en anden bil til sovjetiske SUV Lada at gå til vulkaner.
Under turen vil du have mulighed for at besøge Gobustan lokale indendørs og udendørs museum og se de unikke udstillinger, der har nået os gennem årtusindvis af historie. Gobustan Rock Art Cultural Landscape dækker en fremragende samling af mere end 6.000 stengravurer, der bærer vidnesbyrd om 40.000 års rockkunst. Området indeholder også rester af beboede huler, bosættelser og begravelser, som alle afspejler en intensiv menneskelig brug af indbyggerne i området i den våde periode, der fulgte den sidste istid, fra den øvre paleolithisk til middelalderen. Gobustan har enestående universel værdi for kvaliteten og tætheden af sine sten kunst graveringer, for den væsentlige beviser samlingen af sten kunst billeder præsenterer for jagt, fauna, flora og livsstil i forhistoriske tider og for den kulturelle kontinuitet mellem forhistoriske og middelalderlige tider, som stedet afspejler.
Du spiser frokost på den traditionelle restaurant. Frokost er ekstra!
Aserbajdsjans ikoniske "Burning Mountain" - Yanardag ligger nord for Baku, omkring 23 km fra den gamle bydel. Den vigtigste attraktion i Yanardag er en spektakulær bakke med en konstant brændende flammevæg. Takket være tektoniske forskydninger og vulkansk materiale under jordens overflade lækker naturgas fra stenene. Den italienske handelsmand og rejsende Marco Polo nævnte endda flammerne under sine rejser til Baku og dens omgivelser, men mest sandsynligt har ilden brændt i over flere år på Yanardag. Fyrlinjen omkring foden af toppen vil give dig et indtryk af Land of Lights og efterlade et uforglemmeligt minde om turen. For at beskytte Yanardagh og tiltrække turister her blev dette område erklæret et historisk, kulturelt og naturreservat i 2007.
Det næste kapitel af din rejse bringer dig til Ateshgah Fire Temple. Dette tempel var engang et helligt sted for zoroastrianere og ild-tilbedere, og lyser med historier om pilgrimme og købmænd, der kom hertil for århundreder siden, tiltrukket af evige flammer og mystisk energi.

If I could give this a more precise rating it would have been about 4.6. The flaws were not at all major, just worth considering. Pro - Well-organized. The trip was laid out intelligently and it was very complete of what you could see in the environs of Baku. Said, our guide, was patient and well-informed. Especially for some of the later things (including the Zoroastrian temple) he really knew the subject. The Petroglyphs are the highlight of the tour. Cons - minimal. Said's accent was sometimes a little hard to understand. It was easier for me as a native English speaker. Also, it's a relatively long day with a lot of ground to cover, so be well-rested before you begin.
With Sayed's guide, we visited mud volcanoes, Gobustan rock art, Bibiheibat mosque, monuments of oilfield mining, Yanartag and fire temples. I enjoyed the wild driving of my 4WD until I went to the mud volcano (be careful, the driver is a different person from the guide, who keeps it a secret and asks for tips. The guide told me beforehand that I didn't need a tip, so I was able to slip through and escape to the bus.) The most impressive thing about this trip was the rock art. I was able to see quite a few pictures. Without a guide, I think it's hard to find where it is. Where the rock art is located is on a hill of mountains, so you can see the plain and the Caspian Sea. It is the best view. After listening to the explanations, I was able to learn more about rock art in the exhibition hall, which further deepened my understanding. Lunch is a buffet restaurant in Baku. You can rest assured that the guide doesn't seem to have a bag in it:) For me, it was 20 manats, which I think is cheaper than the shops in Baku Old City. The mosque also allows you to photograph the interior, so that you can get up close and personal with devotees praying. Yanaltag didn't expect that much, but it was surprisingly powerful and I enjoyed it because he taught me how to shoot well. The fire temple was also easy to understand as it went around explaining the necessary parts. The last photo taken by our guide was the best (all the tour participants are shown, so we don't include it) We recommend this tour and guide in the following ways: ・I can speak both English and Russian. It was easy for me to hear even if I was not a good English speaker in a non-English speaking country. (I just didn't have enough English to understand my friends from the same country.) ・The guide is very kind throughout, caringly calling out to me, re-explaining me, and teaching me how to take pictures. · It is probably difficult for individuals to visit all these spots. Transferring a taxi can be a hassle, especially since mud volcanoes are rough roads to get there. It protects you from trouble. ・Perhaps we can discuss changing the order of your visit, where to attend, and where to finish. There were actually people who got off halfway to their personal appointments.
All the activity was great and the guide Murat is very informative and friendly. Coincidently all the people in the tour was amazing and I make new friends for sure.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the activities and found the tour informative and friendly. It’s also great to know the group atmosphere made the experience even more special. We truly appreciate your review and hope to welcome you again soon!
Must visit when in Azerbaijan. Unique phenomena. It is a bumpy ride but well worth the inconvenience. A small tip to the local taxi fellow is much appreciated
Thank you so much for your feedback! 🌋 We’re glad you enjoyed this unique experience and found it worth the ride. It’s truly one of Azerbaijan’s most fascinating natural wonders! Your thoughtful note about supporting the local driver is also much appreciated. We hope to see you again for more great adventures in Azerbaijan!
It was a one-day tour that covered the highlights outside of Baku. Our guide, Turkel, was very kind. Seeing the scenery along the way, I was surprised to see that Azerbaijan is a country with floating oil and natural gas reserves. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Azerbaijan or Baku for the first time. バクー郊外の見所を押さえた1日ツアーでした。ガイドのturkelさんにはとても親切にしていただきました。 途中の景色を見てアゼルバイジャンは石油と天然ガスの浮かぶ国だなと驚きました。 初めてアゼルバイジャンやバクーを訪れる方にはおすすめします。
Thank you for your kind words! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the tour with Turkel and discovered a different side of Azerbaijan. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to see you again on another trip!
Did the trip to Gobustan with our tour guide Yusif. We ended up doing two different tours on two different days because we enjoyed it so much. Highly recommend going to the mud volcanos and swimming in the mud if you have the opportunity. Definitely a memorable highlight of our trip to Azerbaijan!
Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed both tours and that Yusif made the experience memorable. Visiting the mud volcanoes is truly unique, and we’re glad it became one of the highlights of your trip to Azerbaijan. We look forward to welcoming you again!
It was a perfect day, from the contact beforehand to the on-time pick-up, the detailed explanation of the tour guide Yusif and the smooth connection between the attractions. Finally, after fully playing, the tour ended early so that we could have a better rest. What else can I say except a full score recommendation?
We enjoyed the tour very much. Lots of adventure during the tour. We have not seen those wonderful stuff in other countries. Our guide, Adil is gentle and friendly.
Very interesting and fun tour. The mud volcanos with old Russian offroad car were the highlight of the tour. Any time again!
Knowledgeable guide Nazif. We were able to see a lot of places in 6-7 hours. Great that we didn’t spend to much time each place, which gave us opportunity to see many sights. As an effective traveler I really appreciate this.
