A massive international wetland known for its unique water patterns and biodiversity.

Request a window seat on the right for spectacular views of the Shadegan Wetland shortly after takeoff. For evening flights, this side offers incredible views of the gas flares and industrial lights of the South Pars complex, which looks like a futuristic city from the air. Mid-day flights offer the best water clarity for seeing the coral reefs and sandbars along the coast.

This side is best for observing the geological transition from the flat plains of Ahwaz to the rugged Zagros folds. In the early morning, the sun will be on this side, which can cause glare; late afternoon flights provide much better lighting for photography of the mountain textures.
