DYUUFA

Which side of the plane to sit from Dushanbe Airport (Dushanbe) to Ufa International Airport (Ufa)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic views of the Hissar and Fan mountain ranges shortly after takeoff and follows the southern foothills of the Ural Mountains upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Hissar Range

Spectacular snow-capped peaks of the western Pamir-Alay system immediately after departure from Dushanbe.

🏞️

Fan Mountains

Glacial lakes and sharp limestone peaks visible in the distance as you head north towards Uzbekistan.

💧

Syr Darya Basin

One of Central Asia's longest rivers, appearing as a silver thread through the arid landscape of Uzbekistan.

⛰️

Mugodzhary Hills

The ancient, weathered southern extension of the Ural mountain system in northern Kazakhstan.

🌲

Ural Foothills

Transition from dry steppe to the lush, forested landscapes of Bashkortostan near the destination.

Morning flights offer the best illumination on the Tajik mountains. Choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the rugged Hissar range during the first 20 minutes of flight. Keep your camera ready during the last 30 minutes for the changing terrain near the Urals.

🏙️

Dushanbe Skyline

Aerial view of the Tajik capital's architecture and the Rudaki Avenue green belt during initial climb.

🏜️

Kyzylkum Desert

The vast expanse of the 'Red Sand' desert across the border of Uzbekistan with its unique dune patterns.

🌾

Kazakh Steppe

Infinite horizons of the Central Asian grasslands, showing remote settlements and seasonal nomadic patterns.

🌊

Belaya River

The winding 'White River' loops visible as the aircraft makes its final approach into Ufa.

Sit on the left if you are flying during sunset for stunning colors over the desert and steppe. This side is also better for spotting the urban layout of Ufa if the plane approaches from the south and circles west.
