Shiraz Skyline
Views of the historic 'City of Poets' and its sprawling gardens immediately after takeoff.
Central Zagros
Rugged limestone formations and deep canyons typical of the high-altitude Fars province.
Mount Damavand
The iconic snow-capped volcanic cone, standing as the highest peak in the Middle East.
Alborz Greenery
The sudden transition into the ancient, dense Hyrcanian forests near the Caspian.
Tajan River Valley
Winding river paths leading into the agricultural heart of the Mazandaran plains.
Book a window seat on the left specifically for the best chance to photograph Mount Damavand. Morning flights provide the clearest atmospheric conditions for mountain viewing before midday haze sets in. In winter, the snow cover on the Alborz range is particularly breathtaking.
