Expansive views of the vast, golden plains of Western Kazakhstan during the mid-flight segment.

Zhiguli Mountains
Scenic limestone hills and the Samara Bend visible if the flight path tracks slightly east.

The striking red sands and unique geological patterns of one of Central Asia's largest deserts.
Desert Infrastructure
Isolated gas extraction sites and ancient caravan routes visible across the uninhabited desert floor.
Fergana Orchards
The intricate mosaic of agricultural plots and fruit orchards that define the Uzbekistan border region.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. It provides a better perspective of the vast Kyzylkum desert's scale. Look for the contrast between the dry desert and the sudden appearance of irrigated green fields as you cross into Uzbekistan.
