Black Sea Coastline
Stunning views of the Anatolian coast where the mountains meet the deep blue waters of the Black Sea.
Lake Van
The largest lake in Turkey, known for its intense blue color and volcanic surroundings, is often visible to the west.
Mesopotamian Basin
The fertile green bands of the Tigris and Euphrates river systems standing out against the surrounding desert.
The Persian Gulf
Vibrant turquoise waters dotted with oil platforms and occasional tankers as you cross into the Gulf region.
Dubai and Sharjah Skyline
Depending on the flight path, you can see the Burj Khalifa and the Palm islands in the distance as you descend.
The Right Side is premier for the final 30 minutes of the flight. Watch for the transition from the arid Iraqi plains to the bright blue Gulf. If flying during the afternoon, use a polarizer or a jacket to block window reflections, as the sun will be on this side.

Sharjah Inland Deserts
On the final approach, the red rolling dunes of the UAE interior provide a classic Arabian vista.
Sit on the left if you prefer the dramatic, rugged textures of the Iranian plateau. This side is typically shielded from the harsh afternoon sun when flying south, providing better conditions for photography without window glare.
