Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the high Caucasus peaks and the iconic silhouette of Mount Ararat during the final approach into the Ararat Plain.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

Don River Basin

Aerial views of the winding Don River and the vast plains of the Rostov region during mid-flight.

🏔️

Mount Elbrus

The highest peak in Europe may be visible in the distance to the west when crossing the Greater Caucasus Range.

⛰️

The Greater Caucasus

Dramatic views of the snow-capped mountain range that forms the natural border between Russia and Georgia.

🌋

Mount Ararat

The ultimate highlight: the legendary snow-capped twin peaks of Ararat dominate the horizon during the descent.

🌆

Ararat Valley

The lush, historic valley surrounding Yerevan, providing a contrast to the rugged mountains seen earlier.

The right side is highly recommended for the descent. As the plane turns to align with the runway at EVN, Mount Ararat typically appears prominently on this side. Use a polarizing filter if photographing through the window to manage the high-altitude haze and glare.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Moscow Suburbs

Views of the sprawling Moscow metropolitan area and the Moscow River shortly after takeoff from DME.

🌾

Russian Steppe

Expansive views of the fertile agricultural lands of the Stavropol and Krasnodar regions in Southern Russia.

🏔️

Mount Kazbek

On clear days, the eastern peaks of the Greater Caucasus, including the majestic Mount Kazbek, are visible.

💧

Lake Sevan

Armenia's 'Blue Pearl' and one of the largest high-altitude lakes in the world, visible to the east before descent.

⛪

Yerevan Outskirts

A view of the northern districts of Yerevan and the surrounding hilly terrain during the final stages of flight.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid harsh direct sunlight. Keep an eye out for the shimmering turquoise waters of Lake Sevan about 20 minutes before landing, as it is a major landmark on this side.
