Itinerary
Discover the grandeur of Bibiheybat Mosque in Azerbaijan. To understand its social significance, see its stunning layout, both outside and inside. Take a leisurely stroll around the nursery, taking in the views of the Caspian Ocean. This is an unusual encounter, providing researchers with an example of Azerbaijan's rich heritage and the excellence of this unique mosque.
It is estimated that 300 of the planet's estimated 700 mud volcanoes are located in Azerbaijan, Gobustan and the Caspian Ocean. Gobustan's mud volcanoes are a popular attraction for explorers and vacationers alike, the latter option being frequent bathing in the mud, which has restorative properties.
In Gobustan, explorers will encounter a mesmerizing show of ancient stone craftsmanship. These amazing petroglyphs date back millennia, depicting vivid scenes of human and creature figures, hunting scenes, and everyday existence. The study of Gobustan rock expressions offers a unique insight into the rich social heritage and creative expressions of early civilizations.
Ateshgah, or Baku's Fire Reserve, is an old serious area in Azerbaijan that operates around gas-fueled gasoline vents touching torches. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site with delightful engineering and rich history as a Hindu, Sikh and Zoroastrian shrine. This is a priority attraction for anyone interested in Azerbaijan's social heritage.
Visitors will be taken to the Volcano located in Digah settlement. This is a place where gas from the ground normally consumes. Although the fire here burned everything, it started a long time ago. Although the size of the fire has been reduced by the great exploration of gas reserves in Absheron, the event is still extremely fascinating and legitimate. Here, visitors can witness this regular event and, moreover, take a short break at the adjacent bistro for a shot.
The Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku challenges traditional engineering ideas with its curved shapes and lack of specific straight points. Named after the ruler of Azerbaijan for nearly 20 years, the building was planned by the respected planner Zaha Hadid and has extensive developments such as presentations and shows.

About Baku
Baku is Azerbaijan's capital on the Caspian Sea, where a walled medieval old town sits beside oil-era mansions and glass towers shaped like flames.
The walled Old City, Icherisheher, is a UNESCO-listed maze of lanes with the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, both medieval. Beyond the walls, grand mansions from the oil boom of the late nineteenth century line the streets, and a long boulevard runs beside the Caspian. The three Flame Towers glow on the skyline, and Zaha Hadid's curving Heydar Aliyev Centre is a landmark of modern architecture.
Top-ranked sights in Baku: Bibi-Heybat Mosque (Bibiheybet Mescidi), Yanar Dag, Baku Old City (Icherisheher).
