Baku Skyline
Clear views of the Flame Towers and the crescent-shaped bay of the Azerbaijan capital.
Zagros Geological Folds
Intricate, swirling geological patterns and salt domes visible across the Iranian landscape.
Qeshm Island
The largest island in the Persian Gulf, featuring unique mangrove forests and salt caves.
Dubai Landmarks
Unparalleled views of the Burj Khalifa and the world-famous skyline during the descent into Sharjah.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the sun. It offers the best perspective of Baku and the oil platforms in the Caspian Sea. Most importantly, keep your window shade up during the final 20 minutes of the flight; the approach to SHJ usually provides a spectacular panoramic view of the Dubai-Sharjah urban sprawl and the world's tallest buildings.

Volga River Delta
Aerial views of the massive river system as it flows toward the Caspian Sea.
Central Caspian Sea
Expansive views of the world's largest inland body of water and distant shipping lanes.
Eastern Zagros Peaks
Rugged, snow-capped ridges of the Iranian mountain ranges stretching toward the horizon.
Hajar Mountains
The dramatic, arid mountain scenery as the flight enters the airspace of the Northern Emirates.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Caspian Sea. It is also the better side for viewing the high-altitude peaks of the Zagros range in Iran, which often retain snow during the winter months. Watch for the stark color transition from the deep blue of the Persian Gulf to the pale sands of the UAE.
