Lush green canopy of the Alborz foothills visible immediately after departure from Rasht.
Mount Damavand
The iconic, snow-capped dormant volcano and highest peak in Iran, visible in the distance to the southeast.
Namak Lake
A massive, shimmering white salt lake located near Qom that provides a sharp contrast to the desert soil.
Dasht-e Kavir Fringes
The edge of the Great Salt Desert, showing unique geological patterns and arid textures.
Eastern Isfahan

Western Alborz
Dramatic limestone ridges and steep valleys as the plane climbs over the coastal mountain barrier.
Qazvin Plateau
A vast high-altitude plain known for its agricultural geometric patterns and ancient trade routes.
Zayanderud River
The lifelines of central Iran, appearing as a thin green ribbon snaking through the dry landscape near Isfahan.
Zagros Folded Belt
Spectacular parallel mountain ridges and deep canyons that characterize the approach into Fars province.
Shiraz Basin
The surrounding hills of Shiraz, featuring the rugged terrain that cradles the 'City of Poets'.

Look for the distinct lack of vegetation compared to the departure point in Rasht.
