You will be picked up by your driver from your accommodation or the starting point, which is Sahil metro station exit. From there we'll head directly to Sofi Hamid, which will take about 50 mins.

Our first place of visit will be Sofi Hamid Shrine and Cemetery on the way to Gobustan. Get ready to spend about an hour there with our guide, learning about Sufi mysticism in Azerbaijan, as well as exploring the unique cemetery located around the shrine.

After Sofi Hamid, we will proceed to Gobustan Museum and National Park. At Gobustan Museum you will get a broad information from your tour guide and explore life of Gobustan's ancient inhabitants through interactive screens and expositions. After visiting Gobustan museum, you will advance to the mountain in order to see real rock paintings in the open air museum. The petroglyphs (stone carvings) located in Gobustan are as significant as Chauvet Caves, and were left untouched for milleniums until discovered in the 1930s. You will have a chance to witness those prehistoric engravings, including images of old inhabitants that seem to be dancing a tribal dance!

Later on, the tour will proceed to the mud volcanoes area which is 20 mins away from Gobustan National Museum. Azerbaijan keeps the first place in the world for the number of mud volcanoes. About 300 mud volcanoes are to be found in Azerbaijan – at the shore, in the sea and on islands. During this trip you will get a great chance to see these rare and active volcanoes from very close distance. Some people swear by the mud's medical benefits, so it might be worth to try it on your skin! After ending the trip with the mud volcanoes, you can ask your driver to be dropped off either at your accommodation or anywhere in the central city area.

After about 1-hour drive, we'll get back to the city and you can ask to be dropped off either at your hotel or any central city area.
