Search flights from AWZ to BND
Persian Gulf Coastline
A continuous view of the turquoise waters meeting the sandy shores and rocky cliffs of southern Iran.
Bushehr Peninsula
The coastal city of Bushehr is often visible jutting out into the Gulf mid-flight.
Asaluyeh Industrial Zone
The massive South Pars gas infrastructure, featuring dramatic gas flares that are especially striking during twilight.
Kish and Lavan Islands
Clear views of these popular resort and industrial islands surrounded by coral reefs.
Qeshm and Hara Forest
On approach to Bandar Abbas, the vast Qeshm Island and its unique mangrove forests are visible along the coast.
Choose the right side for coastal scenery. Evening flights are highly recommended to see the 'fiery' landscape of Asaluyeh. During the day, polarized sunglasses will help you see the coral reef structures around the islands.

Shadegan Wetland
One of the largest wetlands in Iran, visible shortly after takeoff from Ahwaz, featuring vast reeds and migratory bird habitats.
Zagros Fold Belt
Stunning views of the parallel mountain ridges and deep valleys that define the southern Iranian landscape.
Hormozgan Salt Domes
Unique geological salt glaciers and domes appearing as white or multicolored circular formations within the mountain ranges.
Fars Interior Deserts
Expansive, arid landscapes and seasonal dry riverbeds that create intricate patterns on the desert floor.
Sit on the left if you are interested in geology; the salt domes are particularly vibrant in the mid-morning light. If flying in winter, you may see snow-capped peaks on the higher Zagros ridges further inland.
