Dubai Skyline
A stunning perspective of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscrapers of Downtown Dubai shortly after departing DWC.
Zagros Mountains
Incredible views of the folded limestone ridges and deep valleys of western Iran's massive mountain range.
Mount Elbrus
The highest peak in Europe, identifiable by its distinct double-coned volcanic shape, visible while traversing the Caucasus.
Central Russian Upland
A beautiful patchwork of vast agricultural fields and winding rivers as the flight descends toward Moscow.
Opt for the left side on late morning or afternoon flights to get the best illumination of the Caucasus Mountains. Sit ahead of the wing to ensure your view of Mount Elbrus is not obstructed by the engine or wing structure. During winter, the landscape from the Caucasus northward is a spectacular blanket of white.

Jebel Ali Port
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's largest and most impressive man-made harbors immediately after takeoff.
Mount Damavand
The soaring volcanic peak of the Alborz range in northern Iran, often visible towering above the clouds.
Caspian Sea Coast
The transition from the arid landscapes of the Middle East to the lush green coastline of the Caspian Sea.
Volga River Delta
The intricate and sprawling network of waterways where the Volga River meets the Caspian Sea.
The right side is ideal for morning flights, providing a beautiful sunrise over the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea. It also offers a better chance of spotting Mount Damavand if the flight path tracks slightly further east over the Iranian plateau. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views.
