Binalud Mountains
The highest peaks in Khorasan province visible immediately after departure from Mashhad.
Central Zagros Peaks
Dramatic high-altitude views of rugged limestone ranges that often retain snow well into late spring.
Karun River Basin
The winding path of Iran's most effluent river as it traverses the fertile plains of Khuzestan.
Shatt al-Arab Waterway
The historic confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers forming the border between Iraq and Iran.
Kuwait City Skyline
A stunning view of the Kuwait Towers and the Al Hamra Tower during the descent into KWI.
The right side is premier for photographers. For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to capture the Zagros ridges. On the approach to Kuwait, this side usually provides the best view of the city's modern architecture and the harbor, especially beautiful during 'Golden Hour' flights.

Dasht-e Kavir
Aerial views of the Great Salt Desert's unique crystalline patterns and salt crusts.
Southern Zagros Folds
Incredible parallel mountain ridges created by tectonic pressure, showcasing rare geological formations.
Northern Persian Gulf
Glancing views of the turquoise coastline near Bushehr as the flight descends toward the Gulf.
Industrial Abadan
One of the world's largest refinery complexes visible near the border of Iran and Iraq.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is better for spotting the vastness of the Iranian plateau's desert basins and the distant shimmer of the Persian Gulf waters during the final 30 minutes of the flight.
