  • Mud Volcanoes - Azerbaijan boasts the highest number of mud volcanoes globally, with 350 out of the world’s 700 located within its borders.

  • World’s First Oil Well - In 1846, under the guidance of state advisor V.N. Semyonov, engineer Alekseev drilled a 21-meter deep well in Bibiheybət using a basic percussion drilling method, successfully discovering oil. This predates the first American oil strike by “Colonel” Edwin L. Drake on August 27, 1859.

  • Ateshgah - Fire Temple - The Ateshgah of Baku, also known as the “Fire Temple of Baku,” is a fortress-like religious temple in Surakhany, a suburb of Baku, Azerbaijan. The temple, as indicated by Persian and Indian inscriptions, served as a place of worship for Hindus, Sikhs, and Zoroastrians.

Amazing experience in Azerbaijaan - I had visited Azerbaijaan in last week of June. The tour was very well organized. From the reception at airport to drop off at the end of our tour everything was very detailed planned. The booked hotels were very good. We visited Guba, Gabala and Baku. Nurlan driver is wonderful. He took us to a lot of places and the ride was very comfortable. Very patient and accomodating to my kids whims. Even on the last day they took us to fire temple even though we had missed it earlier. Overall a great tour and a wonderful experience.

Panoramic Azerbaijan ❤️ - From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank Absheron for making our trip a memorable one. Words cannot express the level of professional service rendered with a personal touch. We (my friend and I) had a great experience on our 8 nights/9 days tour to Azerbaijan with Absheron Travels. Absheron Travel was recommended to me by a close friend. Our trip went above and beyond our expectations. They were very responsive and helpful from the first interaction. We were provided a seamless booking experience, were very communicative throughout, and were always available to answer any questions. The itinerary was excellently planned, ticking off all our wishlist items and adding some experiences we never would’ve thought of. Every detail of the tour was timely explained, including suggestions on food, restaurants, shopping places, etc. We did not feel that we were away from home in a new country. I would definitely recommend this company to others. This review would be incomplete without thanking the two most important people: Said: A very knowledgeable person who provides you with the right information to enable you to put the trip together. Very kind, humble, responsive, and extremely easy to deal with, with no hard sell. He will help you in all possible ways he can. I would definitely recommend this company to others. Aga: He was our escort to Seki and Guba. Very knowledgeable, kind, polite, and helpful. He knew every detail of the places and was ever ready to help at any given point in time. Love you, 🇦🇿

Best Travel Agent - Most Professional, Helpful, & Supportive. - I wish there was more than 5 stars to rate Said and his agency. We found him through TA and since we were little apprehensive to handover our entire 11 day Azerbaijan travel booking and plan to him - he gladly gave us a few people we could get references from. Now I know, at this end of our trip, why they rated him so highly. From the time he came to pick us up at the airport and ensured we were assigned a good big vehicle with a driver - he was constantly in touch with recommendations, to dos and not to dos. Even though he was not travelling with us, he was virtually there all along. Since our driver was not English speaking, any comm gaps was speedily resolved. In any trip of this nature and length, you are bound to face some hiccups. It's the manner in which he took care of them and addressed them was commendable. Generally, once travel agents take the full money at the start of the trip, they don't care too much - but it's the opposite of Said. Till we didn't leave for the airport back to India, he took full care and responsibility of us like a family. I have traveled many a countries, met many agents, in India incl, but never ever have I really had the urge to write about someone with such high regards, Said deserves it. Do me a favour, when travelling to AZ, get in touch with him and get the rates for hotels and travel. You will find his rates very competitive and needless to say his service level is all 7 star.

great services - Said and his agency offer all the services a tourist needs at affordable prices. My wife and me,we had already set the schedule and we needed transport and a guide for several days. We had the opportunity to travel in a modern car and our guide Shehryar was an excellent driver, attentive to us, provided us with a lot of information and made our short visit to Azerbaijan a very pleasant one. Thank you

Carrying the memory forever. Amazing choice to book travel through Absheron Travel company - My adventure with Absheron Travel Company in Azerbaijan was absolutely amazing. Over three days, we visited Gobustan, Gabala, and Sheki, and every moment was filled with wonder and excitement. They made sure we felt right at home from the get-go. They were incredibly kind and polite, always ready to help with anything we needed. Whether it was arranging hotel bookings or accommodating our spontaneous requests, they handled everything with grace and professionalism. One of the highlights was the wine tour they organized for us. It was a fantastic way to immerse ourselves in Azerbaijan's culture while enjoying some delicious wine in beautiful surroundings. Throughout the trip, it felt like we were traveling with friends who were experts on everything Azerbaijan has to offer. Their knowledge and passion for their country shone through, making the experience even more special. I can't recommend Absheron travel agency enough for anyone planning to explore Azerbaijan. Their attention to detail, hospitality, and dedication to creating unforgettable experiences truly sets them apart. Thankyou Said and Ethiram, my trip was nothing short of incredible

The best tour in Azerbaijan! - The tour was fantastic! Said is a convivial person, thanks to whom we learned a lot of information and interesting facts about Baku and the surrounding area. The atmosphere was very friendly and the whole trip was so interesting. We sincerely recommend it from the bottom of our hearts. Said punctually picked us up from the hotel, we felt taken care of from the very beginning. The car was safe, clean, and a nice addition were bottles of water and tissues. Thank you very very much for an unforgettable trip and we recommend it to anyone who wants to experience an amazing time in Azerbaijan. We have cool memories and a lot of pictures!
