Description
Discover the Absheron Peninsula on a guided day tour from Baku. Visit Mardakan Castle, the Gala State Historical Ethnographic Reserve Complex, Balakhani Village, and the Bibiheybat Mosque.
Get picked up from your hotel in Baku and head to the Absheron Peninsula. Stop at Mardakan Castle, a well-preserved medieval fortress in the village of Mardakan. Learn about the defensive architecture typical of the region and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Continue to the Gala State Historical Ethnographic Reserve Complex, an open-air museum in the village of Gala. Explore the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography, the Castle Museum, the Museum of Antiques, and the Waste-to-Art Museum. View ancient rock carvings, archaeological artifacts, and reconstructed traditional dwellings that demonstrate the cultural evolution of the Absheron Peninsula.
Next, head to Balakhani Village, one of the oldest oil-producing settlements in Azerbaijan. Discover the remnants of early oil wells and historical structures associated with industrial development. Learn about the evolution of oil extraction and its socio-economic impact on the region.
Proceed to Bibiheybat Mosque, one of the most significant religious and architectural landmarks in Baku. Originally constructed in the 13th century, it was destroyed during the Soviet period and later reconstructed in the 1990s. Learn about its historical restoration and religious significance.
Finally, visit the World’s First Industrially Drilled Oil Well, drilled in 1846. This historic well marked a turning point in the industrialization of global oil production.
