Which side of the plane to sit from Bushehr Airport (Bushehr) to Mehrabad International Airport (Teheran)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Persian Gulf coastline during takeoff and provides the most iconic view of Mount Damavand and the central salt lakes during the descent into Tehran.
Persian Gulf Horizon
Immediate views of the turquoise waters and the unique shape of the Bushehr peninsula upon departure.
Dasht-e Kavir Edge
The transition from the high Zagros peaks to the vast, shimmering expanses of the central Iranian desert.
Howz-e Soltan Salt Lake
A brilliant white salt crust lake located near Qom, often appearing like a mirror from high altitudes.
Mount Damavand
The highlight of the trip; the snow-capped volcanic cone of the highest peak in Iran is visible to the northeast during the descent.
Tehran Skyline
A panoramic view of the capital's vastness, including the Milad Tower, as the plane aligns with the runway.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Damavand; look out about 20 minutes before landing. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Persian Gulf, while evening flights provide a stunning view of Tehran's city lights. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the coastline's curve.
Bushehr Industrial Coast
Bird's-eye view of the coastal infrastructure and the industrial zones stretching north from the city.
Zagros Folded Belt
Incredible views of the parallel mountain ridges and limestone formations characteristic of southwestern Iran.
Bakhtegan Basin
On a clear day, look west to see the rugged valleys and occasional seasonal lakes of the Fars province.
Karaj Urban Sprawl
As the plane turns for its final approach to Mehrabad, the dense urban landscape of Karaj becomes visible.
Sit on the left for better views of the dramatic geological 'folding' of the Zagros mountains. For afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, making it easier to take photos without window glare. Watch for the sharp contrast between the arid mountains and the sudden urban density as you reach the Tehran province.
