First, we will head to the ancient Zoroastrian temple "Ateshgah" which is considered as an authentic Azerbaijani site to visit. You will learn a lot about the temple from your guide, particularly, about the history of creation of such a temple in Baku and unique natural phenomenon of burning natural gas outlets. In the second part of visit, after visiting the temple you will go directly to "Yanar Dag" ("Burning Mountain"), located not too far from Ateshgah Temple.
