Our Recommendation
9.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the majestic Alborz Mountains and the iconic, snow-capped Mount Damavand, providing one of the most scenic domestic flight views in Iran.

Left Side Highlights
9.5
🌋

Mount Damavand

The highest peak in Iran and the Middle East, this dormant volcano is the undisputed highlight shortly after takeoff from Tehran.

🏔️

Central Alborz Range

A continuous chain of rugged, high-altitude peaks stretching along the northern horizon for most of the flight.

💧

Lar Reservoir

A striking turquoise lake situated at the base of Damavand, visible within the Lar National Park area.

🛣️

Haraz Valley

The deep, dramatic gorge carved by the Haraz River, visible as a winding path through the mountain massif.

🌿

Caspian Foothills

As the flight approaches Bojnord, the landscape transitions into the greener, undulating hills characteristic of the northern provinces.

Book a window seat on the left for the best views of Mount Damavand; it usually appears 10-15 minutes after departure. Morning flights are superior as the sun illuminates the mountain's eastern and southern faces without creating haze. In winter, the entire Alborz range is blanketed in snow, creating a spectacular alpine panorama.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌆

Tehran Skyline

An expansive aerial view of the Iranian capital, including the Milad Tower and the dense urban grid during initial climb.

🏜️

Dasht-e Kavir Edge

The northern boundary of the Great Salt Desert, showing the stark transition from urban areas to arid wilderness.

🧂

Garmsar Salt Domes

Geologically fascinating multi-colored salt formations and ridges that appear like white ripples on the earth's surface.

🏘️

Semnan Oasis

A view of the historic city of Semnan, positioned where the mountain foothills meet the northern desert plains.

⛰️

Khorasan Plateaus

The rugged, arid plateaus of the North Khorasan region as the plane begins its descent into Bojnord.

The right side is ideal for observing the geological contrast between the mountains and the desert. Afternoon flights offer better lighting for the salt domes and desert textures. Look for the 'Qanats' (ancient irrigation tunnels) which are sometimes visible as rows of holes in the desert floor near the foothills.
