Sea of Azov
Panoramic views of the northern coastline and the blue expanse of the shallowest sea in the world.
Greater Caucasus Range
A dramatic continuous wall of snow-capped peaks forming the border between Europe and Asia.
Mount Elbrus
On clear days, the twin-peaked dormant volcano and highest point in Europe is visible to the south.
Makhachkala Coastline
The scenic meeting point of the Caucasus foothills and the Caspian Sea in Dagestan.
AbΕeron Oil Fields
Historical and modern oil extraction infrastructure visible as the plane descends into Baku.
This is the 'scenic' side. Aim for a mid-day flight to see the snow on the Caucasus clearly. During descent into Baku, look for the 'Bibi-Heybat' area and the flame-shaped industrial glow if landing at dusk.
