Itinerary

A Day In Gobustan
- Pick up at 9 AM from your hotel in Baku by your Azerbaijani tour guide. Following this, visit Gobustan together. In Gobustan Stones, you take some awesome pictures in the open-air museum.
- Then, reach the Gobustan museum.
- Explore the Mud Volcanos. Azerbaijani mud is very healthy for the skin. And you can apply it to your skin.
- After this, you will go the Burning Mountain.
- Next, go to the Fire Temple, a historical place. It was abandoned in the late 19th century, probably due to the dwindling of the Indian population in the area. The natural eternal flame went out in 1969, after nearly a century of exploitation of petroleum and gas in the area, but is now lit by gas piped from the nearby city.
- Go to Heydar Aliyev Center. The Center houses a conference hall (auditorium), a gallery hall, a museum and a park. After finishing the tour, leave there and reach at 6 PM.
