Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides unparalleled views of the dramatic Zagros Mountains in Iran and the rugged Kopet Dag range bordering Turkmenistan.
Zagros Mountains
Spectacular views of the extensive folded mountain chains and deep valleys that run through Iran.
Kopet Dag Range
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.
Dubai Skyline
Panoramic views of the world's tallest buildings and the Palm Jumeirah immediately after departure.
Dasht-e Kavir
The Great Salt Desert in Iran features unique swirling patterns and white salt crusts visible from high altitude.
Karakum Desert
A vast expanse of golden sand dunes and remote nomadic trails stretching across Turkmenistan.
Persian Gulf
The transition from the turquoise waters of the gulf to the rocky coast of Iran is visually striking.
Morning flights are best for the left side to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the Iranian deserts. Look out for the colorful salt flats of the Dasht-e Kavir roughly 45 to 60 minutes into the flight.
