Guests who wish may join the Gobustan & Mud Volcanoes and Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center Tour with Lunch (75$ per person), organized by our guide as an extra. During our tour, we first set off for Gobustan, located approximately 70 km from Baku, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and one of the most famous regions in terms of archaeological artifacts. Located on the old Shirvan road and near the Caspian Sea, Gobustan is also known as an open-air museum. Gobustan bears very important traces of the medieval period with its carved rocks and engraved stones. Our next stop is the Mud Volcanoes Region. This region is known for having half of the more than 700 mud volcanoes in the world, including the largest ones. Afterwards, we observe the active volcanic movements together.

Reflecting the rise of the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijani mythology, this building, specially designed by the famous architect Zaha Hadid, was constructed in approximately 3.5 years. Considered one of Azerbaijan’s most important works, this building is also regarded as a symbol of Azerbaijani society’s future-oriented approach with its futuristic and modern architecture. In addition to exhibitions, the center houses archaeological findings, an ethnography section and personal belongings related to Heydar Aliyev.
