Search flights from AZD to THR
Dasht-e Kavir
Stunning views of the Great Salt Desert's patterns and the shifting colors of the arid Iranian interior.
Namak Lake
A massive, shimmering white salt crust lake that creates a surreal, otherworldly landscape mid-flight.
Hauz-e Soltan
A smaller, seasonal salt lake near Qom that reflects the sky like a giant mirror.
Tehran Skyline
A panoramic view of the city center, including the Milad Tower and the Azadi Monument during the final approach.
Mount Damavand
On clear days, the iconic cone of Iran's highest peak is visible in the distant north-east.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the Alborz mountains. For the best photography of Namak Lake, ensure your window is clean, as the white salt crust can cause exposure challenges for cameras.
Book Hotels in Teheran
Yazd Old City
A brief view of the historic adobe architecture and windcatchers of Yazd immediately after takeoff.
Karkas Mountain Range
The rugged peaks of the central Iranian plateau, often capped with snow in winter months.
Qom Skyline
The distinct golden dome of the Fatima Masumeh Shrine is often visible in the distance near the mid-point.
Southern Tehran
An expansive view of the dense urban sprawl and industrial zones in the southern part of the capital.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Keep an eye out for the unique qanat systems—ancient underground water channels—visible as lines of craters in the desert floor below.
