Oshtorankuh Massif
The 'Iranian Alps', featuring jagged, snow-capped peaks reaching over 4,000 meters.
Namak Salt Lake
A vast, shimmering white salt flat visible on the horizon near the city of Qom.
Tehran Metropolitan Area
An impressive view of the dense urban sprawl and the towering Milad Tower.
Mount Damavand
On clear days, the perfectly conical, snow-dusted volcanic peak is visible to the North-East.
The right side is the 'landmark side'. To see Mount Damavand, look far ahead and slightly right during the descent phase. Winter and early spring provide the best visibility, as the air over Tehran is often clearer and the peaks are covered in bright snow.

Central Zagros Ridges
Dramatic limestone folds and deep valleys characteristic of the Lorestan province.
Trans-Iranian Railway
Sections of the historic engineering marvel snaking through the mountain passes.
Saveh Agricultural Plains
A patchwork of pomegranate orchards and farms as the terrain levels out.
Azadi Monument
The symbolic gateway to Tehran often visible during the final approach to Mehrabad.
Choose the left side for dramatic, close-up views of the rugged mountain geography during the initial climb. For the best photography of the Zagros folds, mid-morning flights are ideal as the sun highlights the ridge textures without harsh glare.
