Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the unique Namak Salt Lake and the striking, contrasting desert landscapes of central Iran.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Tehran Cityscape

Aerial view of the southern capital districts and the ancient Rey area shortly after takeoff.

🧂

Namak Salt Lake

The massive, shimmering white salt flats of Daryacheh-ye Namak located southeast of Qom.

🏜️

Maranjab Desert

Golden sand dunes and intricate desert patterns stretching toward the horizon.

🕌

Qom Metropolis

A clear view of the city center and the prominent architecture of the holy shrines.

Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the Salt Lake, which appears roughly 20 minutes into the flight. Morning flights are highly recommended to capture the brilliant white reflections of the salt crust without the midday haze.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Alborz Foothills

The rugged transition zone where the high plateau meets the southern Alborz range.

🌳

Saveh Orchards

Vast green patches of pomegranate and fruit orchards contrasting with the arid terrain.

🏔️

Karkas Massif

The dramatic peaks of the Karkas mountain range, often snow-capped during winter and spring.

🏙️

Esfahan Suburbs

The industrial and residential expansion of Esfahan visible during the final descent into IFN.

The right side is ideal for mountain enthusiasts. For the best photography of the Karkas range, opt for an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western ridges. During winter, the contrast between the snow and the red-brown earth is spectacular.
