Tashkent Cityscape
Aerial views of the Uzbek capital's grid-like streets and the Tashkent TV Tower shortly after takeoff.
Kyzylkum Desert
Vast stretches of the 'Red Sand' desert featuring unique geological formations and seasonal dry lakes.
Aralkum Salt Flats
The stark, white landscapes of the former Aral Sea bed, showing the environmental shift of the region.
Zhiguli Mountains
The scenic limestone hills along the Volga River visible during the final approach to Kurumoch.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight while viewing the Kyzylkum desert. During the descent into Samara, watch for the 'Samara Bend' where the Volga River curves dramatically around the Zhiguli Mountains. This side is also better for spotting the Ustyurt Plateau's eastern edge if the flight path tracks slightly west.
