Bushehr Urban Coast
Views of the city's expanding infrastructure and the strategic port facilities along the shoreline.
Zagros Tectonic Folds
Incredible 'whaleback' mountain structures and deep sedimentary valleys characteristic of the Fars region.
Dasht-e Kavir Margins
The edge of the Great Salt Desert, showcasing mesmerizing salt crusts and wind-eroded geological formations.
Mashhad Urban Expanse
A sprawling view of Iran's second-largest city, with the possibility of spotting the Holy Shrine's golden dome on specific approach paths.
The right side is best for afternoon flights as the sun moves to the west. Look for 'qanats'—ancient underground water channels marked by lines of holes—visible in the desert basins. During the descent into Mashhad, the right side often offers a better perspective of the city's vast layout and the surrounding Khorasan plains.

Bushehr Peninsula
A stunning aerial view of the city's unique hook-shaped peninsula jutting into the Persian Gulf.
Zagros Main Ridges
Observation of the inner mountain chains with high-altitude peaks that remain snow-capped in winter.
Central Plateau Basins
Vista of the high desert plains and the transition into the arid landscape of central Iran.
Binalud Range
The final mountain barrier before the descent into the Mashhad valley, featuring rugged and rocky terrain.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct change in geology as the plane leaves the coastal humidity and enters the crisp, clear air of the high Zagros mountains. This side is excellent for seeing the sharp relief of the mountain shadows during early flights.
