With Private Fire Temple and Fire Mountain Tour you will find out why actually Azerbaijan is called land of fire with visiting 17th century fire temple and hill that literally burning 4 millenniums.
For centuries, fire-worshipers from faraway countries, and even priests from India have searched for the fire and found it in Absheron and built their main temple here - Surakhani Atashgah.
The burning of the foot of the mountain (Yanardagh) for a long time is the main nuance that attracts attention. The most interesting thing is that the wind, rain and snow have not been able to extinguish this fire for 4,000 years.

Ateshgah - Fire Temple, Baku, Azerbaijan Ateshgah in the Suraxani district of Baku is one of the three Mecusi temples in the world.
According to Zoroastrianism, this place is as sacred as Mecca. There are 3 shrines in Iran, India and Azerbaijan.
Every tourist who enters the cellars can feel the wonders of this place. For example, as you enter 12 cells, you will see a very strange sight as you look at the flames burning in the dome of the four-storey building in the yard of Ateshgah. At this point, it seems to you that you are standing on a step of the flame. Or when you get to the 18th cell and stop there for a while, you hear strange sounds. It seems to someone that they are talking. Mixed voices are clearly heard, but they do not understand what they are saying.

Jamal was a vert good guide to the Fire Temple, which was a very worthwhile sight (Fire Mountain perhaps less so). He was also very responsive to my wish to alter the itinerary. a bit, accompanying me as I walked around. Heydar Aliyev Center rather than going inaide (which was on my agenda for the next day). The driver was good and careful. I was also grateful that my request to change the time of the trip could be accommodated. This was also a chance to see a much less elegant area of Baku and its environs.

I went with my wife and we were led by Tahir and Arif for the trip. They came to pick us up on time and gave us a thorough tour of all the attractions on the list.
The best part was that Tahir is a well-read person who has a keen interest in history, politics, and knows a lot about different cultures. So it was particularly interesting to talk about not only various aspects of Azerbaijan's local culture and politics, but also its relationship with the neighboring countries in light of the historical events that have happened in the past.
Overall, I would higly recommend Tahir and Arif to anyone who is considering to book this trip. Cheers.
