Mount Ararat
A breathtaking view of the snow-capped peak of Greater Ararat and the smaller Little Ararat.
Lake Urmia
The shrinking salt lake in northwestern Iran, known for its distinct reddish and white hues.
Zagros Mountains
An extensive range of folded mountains providing a jagged, textured landscape for most of the flight.
UAE Skyline
During the approach to Sharjah, you can often see the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai skyline in the distance.
Persian Gulf
Clear views of the busy shipping lanes and tankers crossing the Strait of Hormuz area.
Ensure you have a window seat on the right for the departure from Yerevan; Mount Ararat is the highlight and is best seen from this side. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of or well behind the wing to capture the mountain's scale. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun will be behind the plane or to the left.

Lake Sevan
Depending on the departure path, you may see the largest alpine lake in the Caucasus to the east.
Central Iranian Plateau
The arid landscape of central Iran features unique geological formations and salt flats.
Esfahan
One of the most beautiful and historic cities in Iran is often visible on the eastern flight path.
Persian Gulf Coast
The transition from the Iranian coastline to the turquoise waters of the Gulf.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking toward the sunrise during early morning departures. This side provides a better view of the vastness of the Iranian desert and the urban sprawl of central Iranian cities. Watch for the sharp contrast between the dry land and the blue Persian Gulf during the descent.
