Which side of the plane to sit from Ramsar Airport (Ramsar) to Mehrabad International Airport (Teheran)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled perspective of Mount Damavand, the highest peak in Iran and the Middle East, which dominates the horizon as you cross the Alborz range south toward Tehran.
Caspian Sea Shoreline
A final look at the turquoise waters and the narrow, lush coastal strip of the Mazandaran province.
Mount Damavand
The majestic, snow-capped volcanic cone standing at 5,610 meters, often visible towering above the surrounding peaks.
Lar National Park
The vast alpine meadows and the sparkling Lar Reservoir tucked away in the high valleys of the Alborz.
Northern Tehran Suburbs
The dense, upscale residential areas of Shemiranat clinging to the southern slopes of the mountains.
Book a window seat on the left (typically 'A') for a clear view of Mount Damavand. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern face of the mountain and the air is generally clearer of Tehran's urban haze.
Hyrcanian Forests
Dense, ancient temperate rainforests that blanket the northern slopes of the Alborz in deep emerald green.
Alam-Kuh Massif
The rugged granite peaks of the Takht-e Suleyman range, including Iran's second highest peak.
Dizin Ski Resort
The high-altitude ski slopes and infrastructure of one of Iran's premier winter sports destinations.
Azadi Square
On final approach to Mehrabad, look for the iconic Azadi Tower, a symbol of modern Tehran.
Sit on the right side for the best views of the transition from forest to rocky peaks. This side is particularly scenic during the winter months when the Dizin and Shemshak ski areas are covered in deep snow.
