Gavkhouni Salt Lake
A spectacular terminal salt lake south of Esfahan, showcasing bright white salt crusts and seasonal reddish mineral hues.
Zagros Southeastern Foothills
The dramatic tail end of the Zagros mountain system, featuring sharp limestone ridges and deep arid valleys.
Rafsanjan Pistachio Forests
Enormous geometric grids of pistachio orchards that appear as a green oasis amidst the surrounding brown desert landscape.
Mount Hazaran
As you descend into Kerman, look south to spot the snow-capped peaks of the Hazaran massif, one of the highest ranges in central Iran.
The right side provides the most varied terrain. Watch closely within the first 15 minutes of takeoff for the Gavkhouni wetlands. During afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended for spotting the mountain details and the reflective salt flats.

Central Iranian Plateau
Expansive views of the high-altitude desert plains characterized by unique geomorphological patterns and arid basins.
Yazd Perimeter
Distant views of the historic city of Yazd, recognizable by its desert-colored architecture and proximity to the eastern mountains.
Kuh-e Banan Range
A series of rugged, folded mountain ridges that run parallel to the flight path toward the northeastern horizon.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for observing the vastness of the Dasht-e Kavir desert margins and the subtle color shifts in the desert sand during the early golden hour.
