Welcome to Sofi Hamid Cemetery and Shrine! Here, pastel colored images on the gravestones will tell you more about the history of Azerbaijan than any museum or history book. Arabic, Cyrilic and Latin scripts sharing one common space, as if coming from a distant dream. In front of you are bizarre symbols, pictures of snakes and fruits and poems dedicated to the dead by close relatives. It's a place of celebration of life and death, as if the locals managed to break the thin veil between them. Combine this mystical experience with a trip to Gobustan, where the sounds of ancient humans still whisper with the coalescing winds around the rock paintings. Finalise this trip with a visit to mud volcanoes, where the solid meets the soft. Feel the very material that surrounds this area and let your mind wander with the impressions from this tour.
