Mount Damavand
On clear days shortly after takeoff, the iconic volcanic cone of Iran's highest peak is visible to the north.
Dasht-e Kavir
The Great Salt Desert reveals stunning swirling geological patterns and vast white salt flats below.
Kuh-e Karkas
Fly past the rugged Karkas mountain range, a majestic massif that dominates the central Iranian landscape.
Kashan Oasis
A bird's-eye view of this ancient desert city, where historical gardens and traditional architecture meet the sands.
Kerman Massifs
Dramatic mountain ridges surrounding Kerman provide a jagged, picturesque backdrop during the descent.
Morning flights are ideal for the left side to see the sun illuminate the desert floor without the glare. Shortly after takeoff, look backward toward the north for a chance to see the snow-capped Alborz range. During winter, the contrast between the white snow on the peaks and the brown desert is spectacular.

A massive, blindingly white salt lake south of Tehran that provides an otherworldly, crystalline landscape.
Shrine of Qom
The golden domes of the Fatima Masumeh Shrine can often be spotted as the flight passes the holy city.
Pistachio Orchards
Near Rafsanjan and Kerman, look for the vast, geometric green grids of the world's most famous pistachio groves.
Maranjab Dunes
View the rolling golden sand dunes that border the southern edges of the great salt pans.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing cabin heat and window glare. Pay close attention about 20 minutes before landing to see the industrial and agricultural heart of Iran's pistachio industry near Rafsanjan.
