Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers an unparalleled view of the Caspian Sea coastline and the lush Hyrcanian forests as the plane descends into the 'Bride of Iran's Cities', Ramsar.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌾

Turkmen Sahra

View the vast steppes and plains transitioning into the fertile northern regions.

🌊

Caspian Sea

The expansive blue horizon of the world's largest lake dominates the northern view for much of the flight.

🗾

Gorgan Bay

Identify the unique narrow strip of the Miankaleh Peninsula separating the bay from the open sea.

🌲

Hyrcanian Forests

Marvel at the UNESCO-listed ancient green forests covering the northern slopes of the Alborz.

🏖️

Ramsar Coastline

Experience the dramatic narrowing of the coastal plain as the mountains meet the sea upon landing.

The right side is superior for coastal enthusiasts. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Caspian Sea's turquoise hues. Look for the stark contrast between the arid plateau and the sudden lush greenery as you approach the Golestan and Mazandaran border.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🕌

Mashhad Skyline

Glimpse the sprawling city of Mashhad and the golden dome of the Holy Shrine during initial climb.

🏔️

Binalud Mountains

Fly parallel to the highest peaks of the Khorasan region shortly after departure.

⛰️

Central Alborz

Witness the rugged, high-altitude terrain of the southern Alborz mountain range.

🌋

Mount Damavand

On clear days, the majestic volcanic cone of Iran's highest peak appears on the horizon.

🏘️

Alpine Villages

Spot remote settlements nestled within the deep valleys of the Mazandaran province.

Sit on the left for a chance to see the iconic Mount Damavand. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun is positioned to illuminate the southern mountain faces without glare. Watch for the sharp ridges of the Binalud range in the first 20 minutes.
