The Persian Gulf
Expansive views of the turquoise waters and busy shipping lanes of the northern Gulf.
Iranian Coastline
Rugged coastal cliffs and remote beaches where the Iranian plateau meets the sea.

The right side is excellent for viewing the Persian Gulf immediately after takeoff. However, be aware that on daytime flights heading East/North-East, you may encounter significant sun glare throughout the journey. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights, where the golden hour illuminates the Indus plains. Watch for the stark contrast between the desert mountains and the irrigated farmlands as you approach the destination.
