Persian Gulf Horizon
Deep blue vistas of the gulf immediately after takeoff from the coastal shelf.
Zagros Fold Belt
Stunning parallel mountain ridges and anticlines stretching toward the interior.
Kuh-e-Namak Salt Domes
Rare geological formations where salt 'glaciers' pierce through the earth's surface.
Meandering Wadis
Intricate dry riverbeds and seasonal water paths carving through the arid valleys.
Book an early morning flight for the clearest visibility and to see the sun illuminate the western faces of the Zagros ridges. In winter, the higher peaks may be dusted with snow, providing a sharp contrast to the desert floor.
