Mount Elbrus
Europe's highest peak is often visible to the south, standing majestically above the Caucasus clouds.
Greater Caucasus Range
A continuous wall of snow-capped peaks stretching toward the Caspian Sea.
Turkmenbashi Bay
The rugged coastline and urban layout of the port city on the Caspian's eastern shore.
Fann Mountains
Breathtaking views of the turquoise lakes and high-altitude peaks as you descend into Tajikistan.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of Elbrus, which appears within the first 15-20 minutes of flight. During winter, the contrast between the white peaks and the brown desert is particularly striking. Ensure a daytime flight to see the Gissar Valley landmarks.

Stavropol Steppe
Expansive agricultural landscapes and rolling plains of southern Russia immediately after departure.
Caspian Horizon
The vast northern expanse of the Caspian Sea, appearing as an endless blue horizon.
Karakum Desert
Intricate patterns of sand dunes and arid basins across the Turkmenistan interior.
Choose the left side for better lighting conditions during southern-bound segments to avoid direct glare. It is the best side for observing the unique 'desert pavement' textures of Central Asia. Best viewed during the golden hour when shadows accentuate the dune crests.
