Moscow Skyline
Panoramic views of the Russian capital and the surrounding forests shortly after takeoff from Domodedovo.
Volga River
Crossing the widest point of Europe's longest river near the city of Saratov.
Kazakh Steppes
The endless, flat horizons of Kazakhstan, shifting from green to deep ochre depending on the season.
Pamir Mountains
Dramatic entrance into Tajikistan with views of the jagged, snow-dusted peaks of the Pamir-Alay range.
Kulyab Valley
Lush agricultural plots and small villages nestled in the foothills as the plane descends.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left (A) for flights departing DME in the morning to avoid direct glare. The mountain views are most vibrant in the late spring when the peaks are still white but the valleys are turning green. This side provides the best angle for the standard approach into Kulob Airport.

Aral Sea Basin
The eerie, white salt-encrusted landscape of the former Aral Sea bed in the distance.

The striking red sands and dunes of Uzbekistan's largest desert landscape.
Amu Darya River
The ancient Oxus River winding through the arid terrain near the border regions.
Hissar Range
Rugged ridges and deep canyons visible during the descent into southern Tajikistan.
Sit on the right (F) if you enjoy desert geography and want to see the unique salt formations of the Aral basin. During sunset flights, this side will catch the warm golden hour light over the Kyzylkum desert, providing excellent photography opportunities of the dune patterns.
