Oh my God!!! No one knows about this superb fire temple. Its so great. Through research and Reading multiple sources I found this ancient Fire Temple. Its just near the Robat Sefid village southwest of Mashhad. Its basic and simple but its beautiful, wonderful and amazing!!! If you're into ancient religions (that's still practiced today), ancient sites, ruins, culture, or seeing something really old, then take a few hours to drive from Mashhad and go here.

I could buy best Saffron form South of Khorassan (including Ghaen) with a very reasonable price. When I compare the quality with other Saffrons which claim to be good this was really much better. The price was much lower than the saffron one could buy at the International Airport in Tehran.
