Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular transition from the arid mountains of the northeast to the lush, emerald-green Hyrcanian forests and the expansive blue horizon of the Caspian Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌳

Hyrcanian Forests

Lush, ancient UNESCO-listed temperate rainforests that carpet the northern slopes of the mountains.

🌊

Caspian Sea Horizon

The vast expanse of the world's largest inland body of water appearing as you approach the coast.

💧

Gorgan Bay

The unique lagoon and the Miankaleh Peninsula, a haven for migratory birds, visible near the coastline.

🚢

Noshahr Harbor

Final approach views of the port city where the mountains dramatically meet the Caspian Sea.

The right side is superior for coastal scenery and the dramatic 'green wall' effect of the Mazandaran province. Choose this side for the approach into Noshahr, as the plane usually flies parallel to the coastline. Early morning flights are highly recommended to see the mist rising from the forests before the midday haze obscures the sea horizon.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Mashhad Cityscape

Aerial view of Iran's second-largest city and the sprawling Holy Shrine complex immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Alborz Mountain Ridge

Dramatic views of the jagged southern slopes of the Alborz range stretching toward the horizon.

🌋

Mount Damavand

The majestic, snow-capped cone of the highest peak in Iran and the Middle East, visible to the southwest.

🏜️

Semnan Steppe

The stark, beautiful contrast of the high-altitude desert plains bordering the mountain range.

Sit on the left for the best views of Mount Damavand during the second half of the flight. Morning flights offer the clearest air, while late afternoon flights provide warm, golden light reflecting off the southern Alborz rock formations. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountain peaks.
