  By using gravity/gauge correspondence, we employ an Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton
model to compute the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium properties of a hot and
baryon rich strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma. The family of 5-dimensional
holographic black holes, which are constrained to mimic the lattice QCD
equation of state at zero density, is used to investigate the temperature and
baryon chemical potential dependence of the equation of state. We also obtained
the baryon charge conductivity, and the bulk and shear viscosities with a
particular focus on the behavior of these observables on top of the critical
end point and the line of first order phase transition predicted by the model.
