Volga River Delta
An incredible bird's-eye view of the labyrinthine network of channels and wetlands where the Volga meets the Caspian Sea.
Caspian Sea Crossing
A long stretch of deep blue waters as the flight traverses the largest inland body of water on Earth.
Kopet Dag Mountains
The rugged, sun-scorched peaks that form the natural border between Turkmenistan and Iran appear during the descent.
Ashgabat White City
The striking contrast of the world-famous white marble architecture and gold domes against the desert landscape during final approach.
Astrakhan Environs
Views of the historic city of Astrakhan and its strategic location near the northern Caspian coast.
For the most dramatic experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sun reflecting off the Caspian Sea. The right side is essential for seeing the Ashgabat skyline and the mountains behind it during the descent, as most flight paths approach the airport from the north or northwest.
