Brilliant white salt flats stretching across the central plateau near Qom.

Maharloo Lake

For the best visibility of Mount Damavand, look out the window approximately 10-15 minutes after takeoff. To see Maharloo Lake's pink color, book a flight during the dry season (late summer) and choose a daytime arrival. The lighting on the left is most favorable during morning flights.
