Search flights from BDH to SYZ
Persian Gulf Coastline
Aerial views of the shallow, crystal-clear turquoise waters along the Hormozgan province shoreline shortly after takeoff.
Zagros Fold Belts
Dramatic geological formations featuring massive limestone ridges and parallel mountain folds typical of southern Iran.
Fars Plateaus
Isolated agricultural patches and traditional qanat irrigation systems visible in the high-altitude desert valleys.
Maharloo Lake
The spectacular seasonal pink salt lake located just southeast of Shiraz, most vibrant during the final approach.
Choose a window seat on the left for the most iconic views. For the best photography of the pink Lake Maharloo, book a flight in the late afternoon when the sun highlights the salt crusts, or a morning flight to avoid glare. Ensure your camera is ready immediately after the initial climb for the coastal transition.

Bandar Lengeh Port
Views of the historic 'Port of Pearls' and the traditional dhow ships docked in the harbor during departure.
Arid Mountain Canyons
Deep, weathered canyons and stark desert landscapes that showcase the raw power of erosion in the Central Zagros.
Shiraz Urban Basin
An expansive view of the 'City of Gardens' nestled within its protective mountain bowl as the aircraft aligns for landing.
The right side is excellent for observing the rugged, interior mountain peaks. It often provides a better view of the city center of Shiraz depending on the arrival flight path into Runway 29. Keep an eye out for the distinct shadow patterns of the mountains during early morning flights.
