Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unbeatable perspective of the coral island upon departure and the spectacular pink hues of Maharloo Lake during the final approach to Shiraz.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Kish Island Panorama

A full view of the island's unique shape, luxury resorts, and the turquoise coral reefs surrounding the shore.

🧂

Kuh-e Namak Salt Domes

Rare geological salt glaciers and domes that appear as white or dark flows among the brown rock.

💗

Maharloo Lake

The stunning pink salt lake south of Shiraz, which creates a surreal landscape during the descent.

🏙️

Shiraz City Entrance

The spreading urban layout of Shiraz, including its famous gardens and historic architecture as you land.

This is the prime side for this route. During late afternoon flights, the reflection of the setting sun on the pink waters of Maharloo Lake is breathtaking. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent begins, as the lake appears quickly before touchdown.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Persian Gulf Coastline

Deep blue waters of the gulf transitioning into the rugged coastal plains of southern Iran.

🏔️

Zagros Ridges

Aerial view of the dramatic parallel-folded mountain chains characteristic of the Fars region.

🌾

Highland Valleys

Pockets of agricultural land and small rural settlements nestled between arid mountain peaks.

Sit toward the front to avoid engine heat distortion when photographing the Zagros mountains. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the western slopes of the mountain ranges.
