Search flights from REN to DYU
Ural River Bend
The geographic border between Europe and Asia visible shortly after departure from Orenburg.
Kyzylkum Desert
Vast stretches of red sand dunes and ancient dry riverbeds across the heart of Uzbekistan.
Aral Sea Basin
On clear days, the distant white salt flats of the receding Aral Sea are visible to the far west.
Hissar Range
Stunning, jagged mountain peaks that dominate the horizon during the descent into Tajikistan.
Varzob Valley
Lush green valleys and mountain settlements nestled in the ridges just before landing at DYU.
The right side is superior for the arrival phase. As the plane banks toward Dushanbe, you get an intimate view of the Pamir-Alay mountain system. Aim for a window seat away from the wing for the best photography of the desert-to-mountain transition. Afternoon flights may experience some sun glare on this side.

Orenburg Steppes
Expansive agricultural landscapes and rolling grasslands immediately after takeoff from REN.
Mugodzhar Hills
The southern-most extension of the Ural Mountains appearing as low, weathered ridges in Kazakhstan.
Syr Darya River
A vital silver thread of water winding through the arid plains of southern Kazakhstan.
Western Tian Shan
Distant views of the massive 'Heavenly Mountains' as the flight enters Uzbek and Tajik airspace.
Tashkent Outskirts
Aerial views of the densely populated Fergana Valley fringes and the Tashkent region's green oases.
Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the transition from the Ural foothills to the lush Syr Darya basin. Morning flights on this side provide excellent soft light over the Kazakh steppes without the glare of the southern sun.
