Arg-e Bam
Immediately after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the world's largest adobe structure, the historic Citadel of Bam.
Kuh-e Banan Range
Rugged, arid mountain peaks stretching across the Kerman province providing dramatic shadows.
Yazd Cityscape
View the unique architectural layout of one of the world's oldest mud-brick cities and its famous wind towers.
Namak Lake
A vast, shimmering salt lake near Qom that creates a brilliant white contrast against the desert floor.
Southern Tehran
As you descend into Mehrabad, view the dense urban sprawl and the towering Tughrul Tower in Rey.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while capturing the best shadows over the mountain ridges. This side is also best for seeing the Arg-e Bam shortly after rotation from Bam Airport. Look for the distinct turquoise domes in Yazd approximately midway through the flight.

Dasht-e Lut Edge
The western fringes of the 'Emptiness Desert', showcasing incredible yardang formations and vast dunes.
Mount Hezar
The highest peak in Kerman province, often capped with snow during the winter months.
Dasht-e Kavir
The Great Salt Desert's expansive, cracked earth patterns visible as you head toward the Alborz foothills.
Mount Damavand
On very clear days, the majestic, snow-capped cone of Iran's highest peak is visible to the northeast during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour lighting over the Dasht-e Kavir desert. Keep your eyes peeled for Mount Damavand during the descent into Tehran; it will appear as a massive, isolated peak far on the horizon to the north-northeast. Ensure your window is clean, as the desert haze can sometimes obscure distant peaks.
