Qobustan - Absheron, Lervulkaner, Ateshgah, Yanardag Day Tour
Beskrivning
Turen samlar alla de mest kända sevärdheterna i Azerbajdzjan. Detta är en slags stadsrundtur och en resa i tiden från stenperiodens primitiva grottor till den moderna arkitekturens fulländning - Heydar Alijev Center, som 2014 erkändes som världens vackraste byggnad.

Resplan
Statens historiska och konstnärliga reservat. En av de tre platserna i Azerbajdzjan som skyddas av UNESCO (2007). Det finns två museer inne i reservatet. Den första är friluftsmuseet. Här kommer vi att gå genom grottorna, se hällmålningarna, se det antika köket, kasta oss in i primitiva människors liv. Och det andra museet - ett modernt, interaktivt - byggdes 2011. Gobustan är en blandning av antiken och ny teknik.
Det finns cirka 800 lervulkaner över hela världen. 354 av dem är belägna på Azerbajdzjans territorium, vilket är cirka 40%. Gäster som har besökt vulkanerna säger att de har varit på Mars, eftersom deras yta påminner om rymdfilmer. Du kan spela in ett nytt avsnitt av Star Wars :) Leran är mycket användbar för hud, leder och ben.
Moskén Bibi-Heybat är definitivt ett av de vackraste templen du någonsin har varit i! Här lokaliserar graven av släktingar till profeten Muhammed (s.v.s).
Innan vi går vidare kommer vi att stanna vid en lokal restaurang. Azerbajdzjansk mat har aldrig gjort någon missnöjd! Ett brett utbud av rätter för alla smaker!
Och låt oss nu se vad som dyrkades i Absheron före islam. Våra förfäder ansåg för många århundraden sedan eld vara helig. Elddyrkans religion var så heligt vördad att den religiösa högtiden Novruz förvandlades till en nationell och, efter att ha överlevt genom århundradena, firas den fortfarande. Temple of Fire Ateshgah är platsen för sammanflödet av tre religioner, eld-dyrkan, zoroastrianism, hinduism. På vår turné kommer du att förstå vad dessa tre läror har gemensamt.
Låt oss sedan gå till ursprunget till denna religion. Eternal Lights som nämndes i Atillas annaler - den store Hun-kejsaren, Marco Polo och många andra. Forskare daterar åldern för den "heliga härden" 4-5 tusen år.
Baku är hem till världens första industriellt borrade oljekälla, färdig 1846 i Bibi-Heybat-området, vilket markerar början på den moderna petroleumindustrin.

Overall, the tour was good. I didn't like the restaurant, where we stopped for the lunch because it was too fancy, pricey and touristy. Also, we came back 2 hours later than we were told. The spot for seeing mud volcanoes was also very touristy and one can't see them there properly. The guide was unprofessionally dressed, but very nice and provided lots of information.
Sayid! Huge thanks for the interesting and educational tour of the old town of Baku. Baku is a very beautiful city on the shores of the Caspian Sea. I will definitely come to Baku again.
Спасибо вам большое за тёплые слова! Нам невероятно приятно получать такие отзывы — они вдохновляют нас становиться ещё лучше. Рады, что вы остались довольны, и будем счастливы видеть вас снова!

We have visited many unique and amazing destinations through the day. Also our tour guide Kamuran is a very nice guide who made sure we enjoy the trip through detailed informations about the tourist attractions, food reccomendations etc.
A pleasant and beautiful tour. The planning was well done. Thank you so much for telling Hazar our guide.
Had a wonderful day trip with Smile Azerbaijan tours on Gobustan - the tours starts at 9am and ends around 6pm. We have seen so many beautiful natural wonders - the famous mud vulcanoes (3 types of mud vulcanoes) , one of them is even used for body treatment. In addition, we saw the fantastic Yanardag - burning mountains, a everlasting natural phenomenon due to gas, and the fire temple. The tour worths the trip and timing is good. Regarding the entrance fees, check out what the 25 AZN combo ticket contains (instead of 40 AZN) depending on what you would like to see.
We had the most incredible full-day tour in and around Baku, and it was all thanks to our outstanding tour guide, Sayeed. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make sure every single person in the group felt comfortable, informed, and well taken care of. We visited around 7–8 key locations, including the Fire Temple (Ateshgah), Yanar Dag (Burning Mountain), Mud Volcanoes, Gobustan National Park, several museums, and even the first oil well in the world. Sayeed impressed us all with his depth of knowledge — not just about the main attractions, but also about the smaller landmarks and buildings we passed along the way. He shared fascinating facts and stories, effortlessly blending history, culture, and local insight in a way that made everything so much more meaningful. What really stood out was how incredibly accommodating and thoughtful he was. He made sure everyone had access to water, helped people charge their phones by arranging chargers, and even shared his own personal hotspot with two other tour members who didn’t have data — something he offered without being asked. Sayeed’s time management was flawless. We never felt rushed, and yet we covered a lot without any delays. He found the perfect pace — not too fast, not too slow — and made sure every stop was well-utilized and enjoyable. Perhaps the most touching part of the day was when a woman who had back issues joined late and couldn’t sit at the back of the vehicle. Without hesitation, Sayeed gave up his own front seat for her and stood the entire day — from 9 AM to around 6 or 7 PM — just so she could be comfortable. That level of empathy and dedication is rare and truly speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. Sayeed, thank you so much — you were not just a guide, but a true host. You made our trip smooth, rich with insight, and genuinely memorable. Your professionalism, kindness, and deep knowledge made this tour one of the best we’ve ever been on. We’re grateful for everything you did and would 100% recommend you to anyone visiting Baku. You made Azerbaijan come alive for us. P.s he is an amazing photographer also. Takes amazing pictures from your phone as much as you want.
I usually don’t like to visit places with organized tours, but in this case I preferred to opt for a tour for time requirements. I am glad I made this choice because it was an extremely pleasant experience, thanks to the impeccable organization and a kind and very prepared guide. I recommend it to everyone, it is a great way to see the attractions around Baku in one day without wasting time and with a fairly contained vosto.
Thank you so much for your feedback! We truly appreciate hearing from you. We're glad you enjoyed your experience and look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Warm regards, Smile Azerbaijan Tour!
Guys are the best I advise everyone, take the tours from the smile, with Hazard Mud Volcanoes very interesting how rich the land is here. And the burning mountain also surprised me.
