Kopet Dag Range
Rugged, stratified ridges that form the natural and political border between Iran and Turkmenistan.
Golestan National Park
A stunning aerial view of the transition into dense, temperate rainforests and deep, green valleys.
Gonbad-e Qabus
On clear days, the world's tallest brick tower can be spotted standing prominently in the northern plains.
Gorgan Agricultural Plains
A vibrant patchwork of emerald green and golden fields as the plane descends toward the Caspian coast.
Caspian Sea
The shimmering horizon of the world's largest inland body of water becomes visible during the final descent.
Sari Outskirts
View the iconic terraced rice paddies and lush citrus orchards characteristic of the Mazandaran province.
The right side is the undisputed winner for this route. Request a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Golestan forests. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the green landscape and the Caspian coastline perfectly. In autumn, the forest colors are particularly striking.

Binalud Mountains
View the highest peaks of the Khorasan region, which remain snow-capped during the winter months.
Nishapur Basin
Expansive historical plains known for their ancient turquoise mines and fertile agricultural patches.
Aladagh Mountains
High-altitude geological formations showcasing unique erosion patterns and rugged ridge lines.
Desert Fringe
The northern edge of the Dasht-e Kavir desert provides a stark, golden contrast to the mountain peaks.
Cloud Seas
Frequent fog rolling over the southern Alborz ridges often creates a spectacular sea of clouds effect.
The left side is best during early morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare over the desert. Look for the distinct change in geology as the plane moves west, transitioning from the dry interior toward the humid Alborz slopes. Keep an eye out for small mountain villages tucked into the southern valleys.
