Binalud Mountains
The highest peaks of Razavi Khorasan province visible shortly after takeoff from Mashhad.
Alborz Mountain Range
A continuous wall of dramatic, jagged peaks that run parallel to the flight path for most of the journey.
Mount Damavand
The highest peak in Iran and the highest volcano in Asia, standing majestically at 5,610 meters.
Lar National Park
Views of the high-altitude plains and the Lar Dam reservoir located at the foot of Mount Damavand.
Northern Tehran
The sprawling urban density of the capital creeping up the slopes of the Tochal mountain ridge.
Sit on the right side for the absolute best view of Mount Damavand, which usually appears about 15-20 minutes before landing at Mehrabad. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the mountain faces, while winter flights offer the most impressive snow cover across the Alborz range.

Dasht-e Kavir Margins
The northern edge of Iran's Great Salt Desert, featuring vast arid plains and shifting desert colors.
Semnan City
View of the provincial capital nestled between the desert and the southern foothills of the Alborz.
Garmsar Salt Domes
Unique geological formations and salt mines appearing as white and multicolored patches in the rugged terrain.
Varamin Plains
The transition from desert to the fertile agricultural lands surrounding the southeastern reaches of Tehran.
For the best view of the desert textures and salt flats, choose a midday flight when the sun is high to minimize shadows on the flat plains. Keep an eye out for the distinct grid patterns of ancient Qanat irrigation systems visible in the arid zones.
