The Ateshgah of Baku, often called the "Fire Temple of Baku", is a castle-like religious temple in Surakhany town. I copied this line plainly from Wikipedia and that's pretty much the ONLY factual thing you will remember from coming here. You will remember that it was horrible, hot and perhaps that parking was easy - but for the temple itself you will not remember more than the name and the constant flame coming out. Oh yes, one thing you will remember is that you paid a huge entrance fee for foreigners to see this place!! HUGE! I paid the same amount for Sheki and at least I got to see a nice house. Here you enter a small temple with crappy rooms (that usually contain NOTHING) and basically you paid for the flame in the middle. W...T...F?!

So excuse my Quebec French but you definitely want to miss out this place. There are technically some rooms with info as seen below but those are not worth it at all. I even saw a guide (you can even HIRE a guide!) taking a group through this and it's probably, wait it is SURELY, more interesting than just staring at the walls, flame, and empty rooms. I wouldn't want to spend money on that though because I mainly went here due to the tentative status and I think it's bad we follow their wishes as adding to the tentative site means more tourists will come to visit - I feel that's very much the case here.
