SYZ → BDH
Which side of the plane to sit from Shiraz Shahid Dastghaib International Airport (Shiraz) to Bandar Lengeh Airport (Bandar Lengeh)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner for this short hop, primarily because it offers a stunning aerial perspective of the vibrant pink Maharloo Lake immediately after takeoff from Shiraz, followed by the complex geology of the Zagros fold belt.

Maharloo Lake

Kuh-e-Namak Salt Domes
Spot rare geological salt glaciers and domes that pierce through the mountain ridges in the Fars province.
Zagros Fold Belt
Observe the rhythmic, wave-like limestone formations of the southern Zagros Mountains, showcasing millions of years of tectonic pressure.
Bastak Highlands
Arid, ancient mountain landscapes punctuated by small traditional settlements as you move toward the coast.
Sit on the left for the best view of Maharloo Lake (the Pink Lake) shortly after departure. Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography, as the sun will be behind you or overhead, illuminating the vibrant water colors and deep mountain shadows. Look for white salt crusts along the lake edges during the dry season.
