Kyzylkum Desert
The 'Red Sand' desert offers a stark, beautiful landscape of dunes and dry riverbeds.
Amu Darya River

The right side offers the best lighting for photography on morning flights. Keep a close watch during the final 30 minutes of the flight; the plane often banks over the Fan Mountains, offering some of the best alpine views in Central Asia. Avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the rugged Tajik terrain.
