The Pearl-Qatar
The distinctive man-made island architecture is clearly visible shortly after takeoff from Doha.
Zagros Range
Distant views of the snow-capped Iranian peaks along the eastern horizon while flying over Iraq.
Black Sea Coast
Stunning views of the Turkish northern coastline and the deep blue waters of the Black Sea.
Carpathian Mountains
The jagged and forested peaks of the Southern Carpathians in Romania provide a dramatic backdrop.
Budapest & The Danube
An excellent view of the Hungarian capital's bridges and the winding Danube River shortly before crossing into Austria.
The right side is ideal for capturing Doha's man-made islands. For afternoon flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography of the Carpathian Mountains. Keep an eye out for the Danube River, which will be a constant companion during the final thirty minutes of the flight.
