🏘️

Tabriz Skyline

A panoramic view of the historic city of Tabriz and the Eynali mountain range immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Alborz Mountain Range

Continuous, breathtaking views of the rugged peaks that separate the Iranian plateau from the Caspian Sea.

🏙️

Zanjan and Qazvin

Clear aerial perspectives of these major industrial and historical cities along the transit corridor.

🏔️

Mount Damavand

The highest peak in Iran and the highest volcano in Asia is often visible to the northeast as the plane approaches Tehran.

🗼

West Tehran Landmarks

Detailed views of the Azadi Tower and the dense urban grid of western Tehran during the final approach into Mehrabad.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy the Alborz range illuminated by the sun without glare. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for Mount Damavand, which stands out prominently on clear days.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌋

Sahand Mountain

A massive dormant volcano located just south of Tabriz, known for its various peaks and green valleys.

🌊

Lake Urmia (Distant)

Depending on the departure path, the western horizon may offer a glimpse of the salt-encrusted shores of Lake Urmia.

🏜️

Central Plateau

The vast, arid landscapes and intricate geological folds of the central Iranian plateau stretching toward the south.

☀️

Salt Marshes

Unique crystalline structures and salt flats visible near the southern approach path toward the Saveh region.

🏢

Southern Tehran

Views of the sprawling residential and industrial districts of southern Tehran and the outskirts of the city.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the arid plains. It provides a better sense of Iran's vast desert geography and the distinct red and orange hues of the Sahand mountain foothills.
