Musandam Peninsula
Stunning views of the 'fjords of Arabia' with sharp cliffs meeting the Strait of Hormuz immediately after takeoff.
Dasht-e Kavir Salt Flats
Look for the mesmerizing, swirling white salt crusts and unique geological formations of the Great Salt Desert.
Amu Darya River
The historic Oxus River carving a green ribbon of life through the desert border between Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
Tian Shan & Pamir Foothills
Spectacular views of high-altitude, snow-capped peaks as the aircraft begins its descent into Tashkent.
The Right Side is the clear winner for geographic diversity. For day flights, the sun will be on this side during the afternoon, so use a polarizing filter if taking photos. The approach into Tashkent often curves, providing a panoramic view of the mountains from this side.

Persian Gulf Crossing
Clear views of the turquoise waters and heavy maritime traffic in the Gulf shortly after departing Sharjah.
Zagros Mountain Range
Observation of the western folds of the Zagros, featuring rugged limestone ridges and deep valleys across Iran.
Tehran Outskirts
On more westerly flight paths, the sprawling urban landscape of Tehran may be visible against the Alborz backdrop.
Western Karakum Desert
Vast, desolate landscapes of Turkmenistan characterized by shifting sand dunes and arid plains.
Sit toward the front or rear to avoid wing obstruction. This side is ideal for morning flights as it stays in the shade, providing better lighting for photography of the Iranian mountain ranges without glare.
