Search flights from MHD to UET
Dasht-e Lut Fringe
The edge of one of the hottest places on Earth, featuring vast salt plains and unique geological ripples.
Hamun-e Helmand
Seasonal wetlands and salt flats of the Sistan Basin where the Helmand River ends.
Taftan Volcano
The snow-capped summit of Iran's only active volcano, visible in the distance near the border.
Chagai Hills
Desolate and ancient rock formations in the remote Balochistan desert of Pakistan.
Salt Marshes
Bright white shimmering salt pans scattered across the arid landscape of western Balochistan.
Ideal for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the desert textures. Keep an eye out for the distinct cone of Taftan Volcano if visibility is high. The Sistan Basin provides a rare splash of color in an otherwise monochromatic brown landscape.

Mashhad Outskirts
Aerial view of Iran's second-largest city and its sprawling urban layout shortly after takeoff.
Eastern Iranian Ranges
Rugged, sun-scorched mountains that form the borderlands between Iran and western Afghanistan.
Registan Desert Fringe
The northern edges of the vast red sand desert that stretches across southern Afghanistan.
Khojak Pass Area
The historic and rugged mountain pass that leads into the Quetta plateau from the north.
Quetta Highlands
The jagged limestone peaks of the Takatu and Zarghun ranges surrounding the city of Quetta.
Recommended for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain as the flight crosses from the Iranian plateau into the Afghan borderlands. The approach into Quetta offers excellent views of the high-altitude valley's unique agriculture.
