Which side of the plane to sit from Bandar Abbas International Airport (Bandar Abbas) to Dasht-e Naz Airport (Dasht-e-naz)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of Iran's dramatic topography, including the sprawling Zagros range and the iconic snow-capped peak of Mount Damavand as you approach the north.
Strait of Hormuz
Spectacular views of the turquoise waters and busy shipping lanes of the Persian Gulf immediately after takeoff.
Zagros Mountains
A continuous vista of the rugged, folded mountain ridges that define the western horizon of the Iranian plateau.
Central Plateau Cities
Bird's-eye views of desert settlements and the unique urban geometry of central Iranian towns like Yazd and Isfahan in the distance.
Mount Damavand
On clear days, the majestic volcanic cone of Iran's highest peak is visible to the northwest during the descent towards Sari.
Mazandaran Lowlands
The sharp transition from arid mountains to the patchworked agricultural fields of the northern coastal plains.
Choose a window seat on the left for afternoon flights to witness the sun setting over the Zagros mountains. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight for the best angle of Mount Damavand, which is the highlight of this route.
Dasht-e Kavir
The edge of the Great Salt Desert, showcasing vast, shimmering salt flats and unique geological marbling.
Kerman Highlands
Deep brown and red rocky outcrops that characterize the arid landscape of southeastern Iran.
Hyrcanian Forests
Stunning views of the UNESCO-listed ancient green forests as the aircraft crosses the Alborz crest.
Caspian Sea Horizon
The vast blue expanse of the world's largest inland body of water becomes visible on the horizon during final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare and see the desert textures in high relief. Watch the dramatic change in color from the dusty browns of the south to the vibrant emerald greens of the Hyrcanian forests as you clear the Alborz range.
