Dubai Skyline
Unmatched views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense cluster of skyscrapers in Downtown Dubai during the initial climb.
High Zagros Peaks
The most dramatic, snow-capped sections of the Iranian mountain range with unique geological folding.
Lake Van
The largest lake in Turkey, known for its vivid blue alkaline waters and surrounding volcanic peaks.
Crimean Coast
As you traverse the Black Sea, the southern cliffs and bays of Crimea are frequently visible on the horizon.
Choose the right side for morning departures to see the sun illuminate the Zagros Mountains. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes of flight for the best views of the UAE's architectural wonders. For the Black Sea crossing, look for the contrast between the deep sea and the coastal lagoons of southern Ukraine.

Persian Gulf Coastline
Aerial views of the turquoise waters and the developed coastlines of Sharjah and Ajman shortly after takeoff.
Zagros Foothills
Dramatic limestone ridges and arid valleys of western Iran as the flight heads northwest.
Taurus Mountains
The rugged southern peaks of Turkey, often dusted with snow in winter months.
Port of Odessa
On final approach, views of the industrial shipping hubs and the sprawling Black Sea horizon.
The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. During the descent into Odessa, watch for the intricate patterns of the Dniester Estuary if the approach path curves from the west.
