Transylvanian Alps
The Southern Carpathian range in Romania, known for its jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys.
Anatolian Plateau
The vast, arid landscape of central Turkey, featuring unique geological formations and stepped topography.
Mount Ararat
The legendary, snow-capped dormant volcano near the border, reaching over 5,000 meters in height.
Lake Urmia
A massive endorheic salt lake in northwestern Iran, often displaying vibrant red or turquoise hues depending on algae levels.
Tabriz
A clear view of one of Iran's most historic cities as you enter Iranian airspace.
The right side is the clear winner for landmark spotting. Mount Ararat is the crown jewel of this route; watch for it roughly 1 hour before landing. Use a window seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of Lake Urmia's unique colors.
