Kuwait City Skyline
A fantastic angle of the Kuwait Towers and the dense skyscraper clusters in the central business district after takeoff.
Asaluyeh Industrial Zone
The massive South Pars gas field facilities are visible near the coast, notable for their scale and gas flares.
Folded Mountains
Incredible geological formations of the southern Zagros, looking like giant waves frozen in stone.
Lamerd Basin
The final descent offers a view of the dry valley floor where Lamerd is situated, surrounded by sharp mountain ridges.
Choose a window seat behind the wing for the best photography of the mountain folds during the descent. For night flights, this side is particularly interesting because you can see the bright flares from the gas refineries along the Iranian coast. In summer, the heat haze can be thick, so morning flights are recommended for the crispest views.

Kuwait Coastline
Clear views of the urban expansion and the sandy northern coastline of Kuwait shortly after takeoff.
Persian Gulf
The deep blue waters of the Gulf, often dotted with cargo ships and tankers navigating the main shipping lanes.
Kharg Island
If visibility is high, you can spot the vital Iranian oil terminal island sitting in the northern Gulf.
Zagros Foothills
As the flight crosses into Iran, the rugged terrain of the Fars province begins to emerge with distinct rocky ridges.
Sit toward the front of the aircraft to avoid the engine exhaust blur. This side is better in the early morning to avoid direct sun glare from the south. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the turquoise coastal waters to the arid, reddish-brown Iranian soil.
