BND → AWZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Bandar Abbas International Airport (Bandar Abbas) to Ahwaz Airport (Ahwaz)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic folded geology of the Zagros Mountains and unique salt domes, providing more diverse visual interest than the coastal horizon.

Zagros Folded Belt
Incredible parallel mountain ridges that look like giant waves frozen in the earth's crust.
Zagros Salt Domes
Rare geological formations where salt has pushed through the surface, creating distinct white and dark circular patterns.
Mount Geno
A prominent 2,347m peak and biosphere reserve located just north of Bandar Abbas.
Karun River Meanders
The winding path of Iran's most water-rich river as the flight approaches the Khuzestan plain.
Ahwaz Urban Landscape
The industrial and oil-rich sprawl of Ahwaz appearing as the aircraft descends.
The right side is a geologist's dream. For the best photography of the mountain folds, choose a flight between 10 AM and 2 PM when the sun is high to minimize deep shadows in the valleys. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from BND for the best views of the salt plugs.

Persian Gulf Coastline
Stunning views of the turquoise waters meeting the arid coastal plains of southern Iran.
Qeshm Island
Visible shortly after takeoff, this massive dolphin-shaped island is a UNESCO Global Geopark.
Assaluyeh Industrial Hub
The massive South Pars gas field infrastructure and industrial flares visible along the coast.
Maritime Traffic
Dozens of oil tankers and cargo ships navigating the vital Strait of Hormuz lanes.
Sit here for sunset flights to catch the golden hour reflecting off the Persian Gulf. During the day, haze can sometimes obscure the horizon, so early morning flights offer the clearest views of the islands.
