A rugged mountain range on the frontier of Iran and Turkmenistan with dramatic limestone ridges.
Musandam Peninsula
If the departure path turns east, enjoy views of the steep limestone cliffs meeting the sea at the Strait of Hormuz.
Tashkent Approach
The final descent offers a bird's-eye view of the Tashkent TV tower and the city's unique architectural blend.
The right side is the preferred choice for mountain scenery. During winter months, the Zagros mountains are heavily snow-capped, offering incredible photographic opportunities. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing for the descent into Tashkent for the best urban views.

Karakum Desert
