Absheron National Park

Absheron National Park was established by President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan on February 8, 2005. It covers an area of 783 hectares (7.83 km2) in Baku's Azizbeyov district's administrative boundaries. The Absheron State Nature Preserve was established in July 1969 to safeguard the area's gazelles, Caspian seals, and water fowl. Absheron National Park is home to around 50 different bird and animal species. The National Park is home to about 25 plant species. The Caspian seal, a rare species, is found in the Absheron National Park's Caspian Sea area and is usually seen at seal cape from May to August. Absheron National Park is the closest natural monument to Baku's capital, the most favorable location for ecotourism, and the location of Absheron Beach's purest water and clearest air.

The topography here is largely arid steppe, which lends itself to lovely undulating sand dunes and swaying reed-like grass. The water is also recognized for being crystal pure and teeming with animals, including the occasional sea snake. If you want to see the famous Caspian seals, you should visit between September and November.
