Lut Desert Fringe
Views of the edge of the Dasht-e Lut, known for its unique yardangs and extreme temperatures.
Daryacheh-ye Namak
A massive, shimmering white salt lake located between Kerman and Tehran that looks like a snow field from above.
Holy City of Qom
The distinctive blue and gold domes of the Holy Shrine of Fatima Masumeh are visible as you pass the city.
Mount Damavand
The magnificent snow-capped volcanic cone, the highest point in the Middle East, dominates the horizon to the northeast.
Alborz Mountain Wall
The massive mountain range that separates the Iranian plateau from the humid Caspian Sea coast.
For the best view of Mount Damavand, keep your eyes on the horizon about 20 minutes before landing. Morning flights are ideal as the air is clearer, while winter flights offer the most dramatic views of the snow-covered Alborz range. Ask for a window seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the salt flats.
