Qobustan is renowned for its ancient rock carvings, also known as petroglyphs, that depict scenes of prehistoric life, rituals, and animals, offering a glimpse into the region's rich history and culture dating back thousands of years. The Qobustan State Historical-Artistic Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is generally accessible with some paths being uneven, potentially posing challenges for visitors with mobility issues; guided tours are highly recommended to fully understand the historical context and significance of the petroglyphs, although solo visits are possible with available informational materials. Seasonal restrictions are minimal, but the weather can be quite hot in the summer. The entrance fee to the reserve is relatively inexpensive, and a typical visit lasts around 2-3 hours, allowing sufficient time to explore the petroglyphs and the museum.
