Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the dramatic tectonic folds of the Zagros Mountains and the brilliant white expanse of the Sirjan salt flats.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Strait of Hormuz

Aerial views of the narrow, strategically vital waterway and the blue waters of the Persian Gulf during initial ascent.

🏔️

Zagros Folded Belt

Incredible geological formations featuring long, parallel ridges and deep valleys characteristic of southern Iran.

⬜

Sirjan Salt Lake

A massive, shimmering white salt crust (Kavir-e-Sirjan) that provides a stunning color contrast against the arid brown landscape.

🌳

Pistachio Orchards

As you approach the Kerman-Yazd border, look for the geometric green patterns of massive pistachio plantations.

Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountain ridges and reducing glare from the white salt flats. The Sirjan lake is most vibrant in late winter or early spring when a thin layer of water may reflect the sky.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Mount Genu Massif

A prominent mountain standing directly north of Bandar Abbas, rising sharply from the coastal plain.

🏜️

Central Plateau

Vast, undulating desert landscapes and rugged hinterlands that showcase the raw beauty of the Iranian interior.

🦓

Khabr National Park

Distant views of the protected mountainous wilderness known for its biodiversity and high peaks.

🕌

Yazd Historical Center

During the final descent into AZD, look for the unique adobe architecture and the tall wind towers (badgirs) of the city.

The right side is excellent for photography of the desert textures. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight, as the approach to Yazd often provides a clear view of the city's UNESCO-listed historic mud-brick skyline.
