Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of the dramatic Zagros mountain folds, the iconic Zard-Kuh massif, and the stunning ecological transition into the Shadegan International Wetland before landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Zard-Kuh Massif

Spectacular views of the yellow-hued, often snow-capped peaks of the central Zagros mountains.

🌊

Karun River Gorges

The deep turquoise waters and sharp bends of the Karun River as it carves through the limestone mountain ridges.

🦆

Shadegan Wetland

A bird's-eye view of one of Iran's largest wetlands, featuring a labyrinth of lagoons and reed beds near the coast.

🌅

Persian Gulf Horizon

On clear days, the shimmering blue of the Persian Gulf appears on the horizon as the plane nears the destination.

The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the western slopes of the Zagros mountains. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic mountain textures. Watch for the sudden change from mountains to wetlands just before landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Esfahan Suburbs

Aerial view of the expanding southern districts of Esfahan and the dry bed of the Zayanderud river shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Mount Dena Range

The distant, towering peaks of the Dena massif, the highest point in the Zagros range, visible on the southern horizon.

🏭

Mahshahr Industrial Zone

A clear view of the sprawling petrochemical complexes and oil infrastructure that define the region's economy as you descend.

🌾

Khuzestan Plains

The flat, arid expanse of the Khuzestan province contrasting sharply with the mountain ranges just passed.

Sit on this side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the Persian Gulf. This side provides a better perspective of the massive industrial footprint of the Mahshahr port area during final approach.
