KER → SYZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Kerman Airport (Kerman) to Shiraz Shahid Dastghaib International Airport (Shiraz)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the vast Zagros mountain folds and the spectacular, expansive Lake Bakhtegan salt flats, providing more diverse geographic textures.
Zagros Folds
Stunning geological formations showing the classic folded mountain structure of the Iranian plateau.
Lake Bakhtegan
A massive salt lake providing a stark, crystalline white contrast against the brown desert mountains.
Neyriz Valleys
Views of the pockets of greenery and agricultural settlements nestled within the rugged mountain valleys.
Shiraz Panorama
A sweeping view of the 'City of Poets' as the aircraft banks for its final approach into the airport.
Sit on the right for the most dramatic mountain photography. The lighting is particularly exceptional in the late afternoon when the sun highlights the ridges and canyons of the Zagros range. Keep an eye out for the shimmering white salt crusts of Lake Bakhtegan midway through the flight.
Kerman Cityscape
A clear view of Kerman's historical layout and the surrounding desert gardens immediately after takeoff.
Hazaran Massif
Distant views of the high peaks south of the flight path, often capped with snow in winter months.
Sirjan Basin
Observation of the industrial landscapes and vast arid plains of the Sirjan region.
Lake Maharloo
On the final approach to Shiraz, this side offers the best view of the pink-tinted waters of the salt lake.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to get a closer look at the pink hues of Lake Maharloo during the descent into Shiraz. This side is also better for spotting the unique qanat irrigation systems in the desert below.
