Maharloo Lake
A stunning seasonal salt lake located southeast of Shiraz, famous for its vibrant pink water caused by red tide algae.
Zagros Salt Domes
Unusual and ancient geological formations where salt has pushed through the earth's crust, visible across the Fars landscape.
Persian Gulf Coastline
The transition from the rugged, arid mountains of the mainland to the turquoise waters near Bandar Lengeh.
Kish Island
A clear view of the oval-shaped resort island, which stands out as a bright, developed patch in the blue sea to the east.
Sirri Island Approach
As the plane banks for landing, you get an intimate view of the island's industrial infrastructure and surrounding coral reefs.
For the most vibrant views of Maharloo Lake, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the pink water without reflecting directly into your window. The lake's color is most intense in late summer as the water evaporates.
