Maharloo Lake
A stunning seasonal salt lake known for its vibrant pink hue caused by red tide algae, best seen just before landing.
Mount Gar Peaks
Prominent mountain peaks that remain snow-capped during early spring, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding desert.
Kavar Agricultural Valley
A rare patch of green irrigation and farming activity that breaks up the monochromatic brown of the southern landscape.
Salt Crust Formations
White crystalline deposits along the edges of dry basins that glitter intensely under the Iranian sun.
The right side is essential for the iconic view of Maharloo Lake. Choose this side for afternoon flights as the western sun illuminates the pink water perfectly. In summer, the lake's color is most intense due to higher evaporation rates. Keep your camera ready during the last 10 minutes of flight for the best lake shots.

Southern Zagros Folds
Witness the incredible 'karst' topography and parallel mountain ridges that define the Fars province landscape.
Firuzabad Highlands
High-altitude arid plateaus with deep seasonal river beds and unique erosion patterns visible from cruising altitude.
Shiraz Urban Expansion
As the plane turns for the final approach, the western residential districts of Shiraz spread out against the mountain base.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while photographing the mountain textures. This side is better for observing the sheer scale of the desert plateaus before reaching the Shiraz basin.
