Stockholm Archipelago
A breathtaking view of thousands of islands and islets immediately after takeoff from Arlanda.
Warsaw & Vistula River
The expansive urban layout of the Polish capital and the winding path of its primary waterway.
Anatolian Plateau
The high-altitude, rugged terrain of central Turkey with its unique geological textures.
Zagros Mountains
A highlight of the route, featuring dramatic, multi-colored ridges and jagged peaks across western Iran.
Persian Gulf Coastline
The deep blue waters of the Gulf meeting the sandy shores of the United Arab Emirates.
For morning flights, the left side receives direct sunlight, so keep the window shade partially down until reaching the Middle East. The Zagros Mountains are most spectacular approximately 60 to 90 minutes before landing in Dubai.
