Dubai Downtown
Dramatic views of the Burj Khalifa and the city's dense skyscraper forest immediately after takeoff.
Zagros Mountains
The rugged, reddish-brown limestone ridges of Western Iran provide a stark and beautiful desert landscape.
Mount Elbrus
The highlight of the trip: the double-peaked volcanic giant and the high ridges of the Greater Caucasus.
Volga River
Aerial views of the massive river winding through the Russian heartland near the city of Volgograd.
Moscow Suburbs
As you descend, catch glimpses of the dense green forests and dacha communities surrounding the capital.
Book a window seat on the left (A or K depending on aircraft) to maximize views of the Burj Khalifa on departure. During the mid-flight, keep your eyes peeled roughly 3 hours in for the Caucasus range; Mount Elbrus is unmistakable. If flying in winter, the snowy transition from Iran to Russia is visually stunning.

The World Islands
A clear view of the man-made archipelago shaped like a map of the world off the Dubai coast.
Caspian Sea
Follow the eastern coastline of the world's largest inland body of water for a significant portion of the flight.
Volga Delta
The intricate, labyrinthine patterns of the Volga Delta as it drains into the northern Caspian Sea.
Russian Steppe
Endless patterns of agricultural fields that turn from vibrant green in summer to brilliant white in winter.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare while viewing the Iranian plateau. It also provides the best perspective of the Caspian Sea's turquoise waters. Keep a lookout for the city of Astrakhan during the transition from the sea to the Russian plains.
