Qobustan Open Air Museum
Step back in time at Gobustan, where ancient rock carvings tell stories from over 10,000 years ago! With petroglyphs and sweeping views of the Caspian coast, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must-see for history lovers and curious minds alike.
Mud Volcanoes
Welcome to one of the quirkiest natural wonders in Azerbaijan! Just outside Gobustan, these bubbling mud volcanoes look like something from another planet. They’re cool to watch, fun to photograph, and Azerbaijan has more of them than any other country in the world!
Temple of Fire
Temple of Fire is a sacred site where natural gas flames have burned for millennia. Although the current structure was built by Indian fire-worshippers, the site’s spiritual roots go back to ancient Zoroastrian rituals, making it a truly timeless place of fire and faith.
Burning Mountain
Just outside Baku, Yanar Dağ is a hillside that’s been burning for centuries—literally! Fueled by natural gas seeping from the ground, flames dance along the earth day and night, creating a fiery spectacle that amazed even Marco Polo.
Bibi-Heybat Mosque
Overlooking the Caspian Sea, Bibi-Heybat Mosque is a spiritual jewel of Baku. Rebuilt in the 1990s on ancient foundations, it’s a sacred site for many, housing the tomb of a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad and offering a peaceful, awe-inspiring atmosphere.
