Namak Salt Lake
The massive white expanse of the Daryacheh-ye Namak offers a striking contrast against the desert.
Qom Cityscape
A clear view of the holy city of Qom, including the golden dome of the Fatima Masumeh Shrine.
Mount Damavand
On clear days, the snow-capped peak of Iran's highest mountain is visible to the North-Northeast.
Milad Tower
Spot the tall silhouette of the Milad Tower rising above the Tehran skyline during the final approach.
The right side is superior for photography, especially in the late afternoon when the sun illuminates the Alborz Mountains. The Salt Lake is the primary landmark to watch for roughly midway through the short flight.
