Baku, situated on the southern tip of the Apsheron Peninsula, historically attracted the attention of caravans along the Silk Road. But what initially served as a magnet for travelers? The eternal flames of Apsheron, flickering for millennia, beckon foreigners to their lands. On our tour, you will visit the Fire Temple in Baku, where the guide will share insights into Zoroastrian teachings. You will also have a visit to Yanar Dag, a mountain burning for centuries, remaining the only natural source of fire in the capital of the Land of Fire.
