DWC → PEE
Which side of the plane to sit from Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai) to Bolshoye Savino Airport (Perm)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled view of the Dubai coastline upon departure, followed by a dramatic traversal of the Zagros Mountains and the western coastline of the Caspian Sea.
Palm Jebel Ali
Direct views of the palm-shaped man-made islands immediately after departure from DWC.
Zagros Mountains
Soar over the dramatic, folded limestone ridges and snow-dusted peaks of Western Iran.
Caspian Sea Coastline
Follow the western shore, seeing the transition from the blue waters to the green hills of Azerbaijan and Dagestan.
Volga River Delta
Witness the massive drainage system of Europe's longest river as it enters the Caspian Sea.
Russian Taiga
Endless expanses of dense coniferous forests that dominate the landscape as you approach the Perm region.
For the best experience on a morning flight, the left side is shielded from the direct rising sun, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Iranian mountains. Keep your camera ready in the first 10 minutes for the Palm Jebel Ali and in the final 30 minutes for the winding Kama River near Perm.
Dubai Skyline
A panoramic view of the distant Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscrapers of the Dubai Marina district.
Dasht-e Kavir
The Great Salt Desert of Iran, featuring surreal salt crusts and swirling geological patterns from above.
Mount Damavand
On clear days, see the iconic cone of the highest peak in the Middle East and its volcanic summit.
Kama River
The primary water artery of the Perm region, which the flight often follows during the descent into PEE.
Ural Foothills
The rolling hills marking the very edge of the European continent before the landscape flattens toward the city.
The right side is ideal for night flights, as it provides views of the brightly lit urban centers of Dubai and Tehran. During winter flights, look for the unique ice formations on the northern Caspian Sea and the frozen surface of the Kama River during the final approach.
