Get picked up from your place early in the morning and hear exciting stories about the city on the way.
Arrive at Gobustan National Park and explore this ancient site.
Take an offbeat route into the mountains to reach the mud volcanoes. Once here, you will be surprised by the "lunar" landscape and the icy volcanoes.
Head back to the city and visit the Ateshgah Fire Temple.
Continue to Yanar Dag - the "burning mountain" - one of the most amazing places on your tour program, where a fire burns continuously without ever stopping. The flames of Yanar Dag are caused by hydrocarbon gases emanating from below the earth's surface.
