Baku Cityscape
A sweeping view of the Flame Towers and the rapidly evolving urban landscape of Baku immediately after takeoff.
Aras River
The serpentine river that serves as the natural border between Azerbaijan and Iran, cutting through rugged terrain.
Mount Sabalan
The third highest peak in Iran, an inactive stratovolcano that typically features a permanent crater lake at its summit.
Lake Urmia Vista
As the flight approaches Tabriz, the shimmering, often reddish-tinted salt flats of Lake Urmia are visible in the far distance.
This is the premier side for mountain lovers. Ensure your window is clear to spot Mount Sabalan's peak, which is often snow-capped even in late spring. For the best lighting on the mountains, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western faces of the peaks.
