Which side of the plane to sit from Shiraz Shahid Dastghaib International Airport (Shiraz) to Bushehr Airport (Bushehr)?
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.
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.
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.
