Guide details
A full introduction so you know what to expect when you book with Faruk.
I specialise in Azerbaijan’s ancient fire culture and the prehistoric landscapes of Gobustan. For me, these places are not just tourist stops—they’re where you can touch the roots of Zoroastrianism and see rock art that dates back thousands of years.
My background is in history and archaeology, and I’ve worked with researchers and visitors alike to make sense of the Ateshgah Fire Temple, Yanar Dag (the eternal flame), and the Gobustan petroglyphs. I explain the geology, the myths, and the real history behind the “Land of Fire” in a way that’s clear and engaging.
Tours with me often combine the fire sites with Gobustan in one full day, with comfortable transport and plenty of time for questions and photos. I speak English and Azərbaycan and am happy to adjust the itinerary if you want to focus more on one site or add a stop. Book with confidence—I’m here to make the Land of Fire come alive for you.
