Very interesting place to visit for knowing the ancient culture of Azerbaijan with fire worship. Very convenient visit and beautiful knowledge by our guide Murad. My family loved the place and after learned the all history from Murad. Fire mountain is far away from temple around 30 minutes with a car. All the way we saw lots of gate production shops. Fire mountain was warmly and nice place, especially in winter time.
