AZERBAIJAN · ABSHERON PENINSULA & FIRE TEMPLES
41 reviewed
Two of Azerbaijan’s strangest sights sit twenty minutes apart on the Absheron peninsula: a stone fire temple built around a natural gas flame, and a hillside that has simply been burning for centuries. These are the tours that do them properly — entrance fees included or not, how long you get at each, and which ones pair the pair with Gobustan for one long day.

“The tour of Gobustan, the mud volcanoes, the Bibi Heydad mosque, the fire temple and the burning mountain was a day of interesting geologic and cultural sites that gave me a pretty good overview of the forces that have shaped present day Azerbaijan. It was a long day that our guide, Samir, stewarded nicely through a balance of information, personal stories, and a willingness to let the group explore on its own. Even as my energy flagged toward the end, Samir encouraged me to persevere. The tour is packed with sites and even comes with lunch included.
