Dez Dam and Reservoir
Look for the deep turquoise waters of one of Iran's tallest dams tucked into the steep canyons.
Namak Lake
The vast, brilliant white salt crust of the Great Salt Lake located east of Qom.
Mount Damavand
The iconic, snow-capped volcanic cone of Iran's highest peak is clearly visible on the horizon during the descent.
Holy City of Qom
The sprawl of the city and its religious architecture visible as the plane nears the Tehran corridor.
Tehran Metropolitan Area
A grand view of the capital city's density backed by the towering Alborz Mountain range.
Morning flights are ideal for the right side to avoid direct sun glare. Ensure you look out about 15-20 minutes before landing to spot the symmetrical cone of Mount Damavand; its visibility is best in autumn and winter when the air is clearer. Also, keep an eye out immediately after takeoff from Dezful to see the impressive canyons of the Dez River.

Central Zagros Folds
Observe the unique, accordion-like limestone ridges typical of the Lorestan region.
Arak Industrial Skyline
A view of the major industrial complexes and the surrounding arid plains of Markazi Province.
Karkheh River Basin
The winding riverbed and agricultural ribbons cutting through the dry landscape shortly after takeoff.
Mount Alvand
The massive granite peak standing over the historic city of Hamadan, visible on the northwestern horizon.
Sit on the left for the best light during late afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the western faces of the Zagros ridges. Watch for the dramatic change from the flat Khuzestan plains to the vertical mountain terrain within the first 10 minutes of flight.
