Search flights from MHD to HDM
Alborz Mountains
Continuous views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks that separate the plateau from the Caspian Sea.
Ancient Neyshabur
Views of one of the oldest cities in the region, famous for its history and turquoise mines.
Mount Damavand
On clear days, the iconic cone of the highest peak in Iran is visible to the North-West.
Sabzevar Plains
A mix of rugged foothills and fertile plains along the historic Silk Road route.
Tehran-Mashhad Corridor
The busy transit artery cutting through the foothills of the northern mountain ranges.
The right side is superior for mountain enthusiasts. Aim for an afternoon flight to have the Alborz range perfectly illuminated by the southern sun. Keep a lookout about 45-60 minutes into the flight for a distant view of Mount Damavand. Ensure a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the scale of the peaks.

Dasht-e Kavir
Vast views of the Great Salt Desert featuring unique geological erosion patterns.
Salt Flats
Brilliant white crystalline basins scattered across the arid central plateau.
Qom Skyline
Aerial perspective of the sprawling city and the golden domes of its holy shrines.
Mount Alvand
The majestic granite peaks signaling the approach to the city of Hamadan.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is better for photographers interested in the abstract shapes and colors of the Iranian desert. Watch for the stark contrast between the desert and the irrigated agricultural circles near Saveh.
