What To Expect
Ateshgah - Fire Temple
The Baku Ateshgah, often called the "Fire Temple of Baku" is a castle-like religious temple in Surakhani town (in Suraxanı raion), a suburb in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Yanar Dag
Watch a mountain burning at Yanardag, where continuous natural gas flames light up a hillside near the Caspian Sea on the Absheron Peninsula. Part of Azerbaijan's enormous gas reserves leaks up through a thin, porous sandstone layer, igniting into flames that spread for about 10 m (33 ft). The spectacle--duly noted by Marco Polo--can reach up to 3 m (10 ft) in height, and burns in all weather. Plant yourself in the newly constructed amphitheatre opposite and take in the sight.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
ABRAHAMAARTI,May 20, 2024
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00I booked my entire one week trip with Tural. He was so marvellous, patient, knowledgeable , polite. He gave us a very nice itinerary for 7 days and good driver Anar and guide for required days. Baku city tour with guide Shahriyar was very nice. We did guba, shahdag, sheki, gabala, nij village and every trip was beautiful. Our driver Anar was kind, helpful and like a family member. Azerbaijan is a fairy tale land blessed by God. The food is divine, the culture and people are outstanding. The history, natural beauty and all locations are remarkable. Tural remained there for us whenever we needed him, and fulfilled all his commitments and this remains like a fairytale tour for us because of him. Thank you
