What To Expect

Gobustan Rock Art

Admire the craggy rock faces that recede into dramatic fissures. Learn how a prehistoric civilization thrived here, producing the thousands of rock paintings the area is known for as well as a number of ancient dwellings and more than 100,000 artifacts. See the difference between the oldest drawings dating back 20,000 years and the newest ones from the first century AD. Earlier imagines depict the hunt for mountain goats and ritual dancing with spears while images from the later period show battle scenes, collective labor, harvesting, and women by the hearth.

1 hour • Admission Included

Mud Volcanoes

With approximately 350 of the 800 existing mud volcanoes in the world, Azerbaijan takes first place as the site to see these unique geological formations. See the high concentration of active mud volcanoes in the Dashgil Group situated to the east of the Gobustan museum

The excursion is a bit disappointing. And the visit to the "volcanoes" area is a joke. At least with the agency we hired
WORST TOUR EVER

⚠️this was the worst tour i have ever been on. if your thinking about getting this tour trust me u will regret it. your basically paying to just be sitting in a car the whole time and not just a car, a car where you don’t have any room and no AC. no one’s legs can fit in these tiny seats. that isn’t the only problem i brought my daughter with me. the tour guide brought us to a mud volcano for our first trip. the tour guide did not want to warn us that there are still mud volcanos underneath on some places and to be careful where we go. so of course we’re walking and looking around until my daughter falls inside of the mud volcano. her shoes and clothes were full of mud. i spent my whole time there trying to get her cleaned up while the tour guide continued his tour without us. This is waste of money and especially not worth any time. i am really upset. ⚠️
Great tour guide and excellent trip!

Hábil was on time to pick us up directly from our hotel. His van was clean with AC. He was knowledgeable and detailed in his descriptions about the different sites and museum artifacts. He had a great balance between talking and allowing us to take in the sites on our own. You will love this tour. Well worth the time and money!
Don’t miss this excursion from Baku!

We had a wonderful excursion with Hábil to the mud volcanoes and Gobustan. Hábil was knowledgeable and friendly. He took his time answering all of our questions and seemed genuinely interested that we have a wonderful tour. It was really nice to leave the center city of Baku for outside the city limits to see a new part of Azerbaijan. Highly recommend this tour!
Very comfortable, professional and fun tour!

Very comfortable, professional and fun tour! We had one day off from a university conference in Baku during ours stay. We were excited to book Habil for the short tour to the mud volcanoes. The highlight was definitely the petroglyphs and museum in Gobastan. Habil was a SAFE DRIVER and spoke wonderful English. Beware - our 4 hour was 5 hours, which was needed.
Gobustan and mud volcanoes happy day

Habil One of the best if not the best tour guide i have ever met. Perfect knowledge,very helpful and so kind. We extended the tour isntead of 12 hours we extended to 16 hours and he didn't even say anything. We asked him to stop a lot to take pictures and buy food he was very kind and helpful he always replied with a smile. Can't say enough about his knowledge! he told us the history of each place we visited in deep details with dates and evidence. He took us back to the hotel after driving more than 3 hours with a warm good buy. Highly recommend!
