5.00I went on a tour of Gobustan with Ms. Naz. We started with the point where the first oil was extracted. Throughout the tour, Ms. Naz gave us detailed information about both the history and culture of Azerbaijan, as well as the history of the places we would be visiting. Her energy kept us energized. Of all the places we visited, I liked the fire temple the most. It was a wonderful trip. I recommend traveling with him and getting to know Azerbaijan better.
