- Bibi-Heybat Mosque - Bibi-Heybet (aunt of the stern) is a ‘pir’ located near the mountains of Baku within a large cemetery. The tomb of Bibi-Heybet, a relative of the Prophet Muhammad, is situated in a grand mosque frequently visited by Muslims. Bibi-Heybet is renowned for her miraculous healing powers. Many Muslims wish to be buried near this mosque.
- Mud Volcanoes - A mud volcano is a geological formation featuring a hole or depression in the earth’s surface, or a cone-shaped elevation with a crater, from which mud and gases are continuously or periodically erupted. These volcanoes are primarily found in oil-rich and volcanic regions.
- Gobustan Rock Art - Gobustan is one of the world’s most renowned historical and archaeological reserves, serving as an open-air museum with a vast collection of invaluable historical artifacts.
- Ateshgah - Fire Temple - The “Ateshgah” Fire-worshipper temple dates back to the second and third centuries. During this period, Zoroastrianism spread in Azerbaijan, leading to the construction of Zoroastrian temples in the region. The Ateshgah temple in Surakhani was active until the 7th century, when Islam was adopted in Azerbaijan.
- Yanardag State Historical, Cultural and Natural Reserve - Yanardag is one of the most remarkable natural attractions on the Absheron Peninsula. It is a flaming mountainside that cannot be extinguished by rain or sand and has been burning for millennia. The awe-inspiring fiery landscape is easily explained: natural gas is released from the upper layers of soil and ignites upon contact with oxygen.

This was an interesting... - This was an interesting tour, felt like we saw a lot of cool/different and learned a lot about Azerbaijan and its history and sights. The variety of activities was nice. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about a slew of topics, but was kind of intense. The options for lunch were not good. As a vegetarian, the only thing they had was bread and some boiled vegetables. The rest of the group said the chicken was dry. The restaurant also had a weird tableau in the front where there were a few mannequins but the only black one had chains around his wrists.

Adventure through Azerbaijan - The trip was great. our instructor knew all the history and was well prepared. our group was 3 different languages (russian, English, and Turkish) and our driver knew all of our languages and explained things. He seemed genuinely excited and proud to share the history of Azerbaijan. It felt like being with a friend in his home country showing us around.
