Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the vibrant pink Maharloo Lake during takeoff and an expansive perspective of the Persian Gulf coastline upon arrival in Bushehr.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌸

Maharloo Lake

A seasonal salt lake known for its striking pink hue due to algae, visible shortly after departure from Shiraz.

⛰️

Southern Zagros Ridges

Dramatic views of the parallel-folded limestone mountains that define the Fars province landscape.

🌊

Persian Gulf Coastline

The first sightings of the turquoise gulf waters as the aircraft crosses the coastal mountain range.

⚡

Bushehr Nuclear Plant

A prominent technological landmark located on the southern tip of the Bushehr peninsula.

🏖️

Halileh Beaches

The sandy stretches south of the city, meeting the deep blue waters of the Persian Gulf.

Book a morning flight for the most vivid colors of the Pink Lake, as the sun illuminates the mineral deposits. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion when photographing the coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏘️

Shiraz Cityscape

A sweeping view of the 'City of Poets' and its surrounding gardens during the initial climb.

🏞️

Lake Parishan

One of the largest freshwater lakes in Iran, nestled within the mountains near Kazerun.

🛤️

Kazerun Valleys

Rugged terrain and agricultural plains that bridge the gap between the highlands and the coast.

🚢

Bushehr Port

Active maritime docks and shipping lanes visible during the final approach to the airport.

🌅

Borazjan Plains

The flat, arid expanse that marks the transition from the Zagros foothills to the coastal plain.

The right side is ideal for capturing the urban sprawl of Shiraz and the ruggedness of the central Zagros range. Keep a lookout for the Shapur River valley, which often shows green vegetation against the brown desert rocks.
