Bushehr Peninsula
Visuals of the distinctive Iranian coastline near the Bushehr nuclear facility as you cross the Persian Gulf.
Northern Zagros
Jagged, snow-capped ridges of the northern Zagros mountain range stretching across western Iran.
Lake Urmia
A spectacular view of the endorheic salt lake, known for its reddish tints and white salt crusts, located just west of Tabriz.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Burj Khalifa during the climb out of DXB. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture the striking salt crusts of Lake Urmia. Mid-day flights offer the best lighting for the lake's vibrant colors, as the sun is high and minimizes window reflection.
