Caspian Sea Shoreline
Immediate views of the Noshahr coast and the southern shores of the Caspian Sea right after takeoff.
Mount Damavand
The iconic, snow-capped stratovolcano and highest peak in the Middle East is clearly visible to the southeast.
Lar Reservoir
The bright blue waters of the Lar Dam and the surrounding protected wilderness area.
Central Alborz Range
Dense clusters of jagged, high-altitude peaks that form the natural barrier between the coast and the plateau.
Milad Tower & East Tehran
As the plane descends into Mehrabad, the massive urban sprawl and the towering Milad Tower come into view.
Book a window seat on the left (Port) side for the best chance to see Mount Damavand. Early morning flights are highly recommended to avoid the midday haze and clouds that often gather around the mountain peaks. Have your camera ready within 10-15 minutes of departure.
