THR → MRX
Which side of the plane to sit from Mehrabad International Airport (Teheran) to Mahshahr Airport (Bandar Mahshahr)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides showcase Iran's diverse topography, the right side offers a superior view of the rugged Zagros mountain peaks and the stunning Shadegan wetlands during the final descent.
Search flights from THR to MRX
Zagros Mountain Range
Breathtaking views of the jagged limestone ridges and deep canyons of the central Zagros range.
Snow-capped Peaks
During winter and early spring, the high-altitude summits provide a spectacular white-capped landscape.
Shadegan Wetlands
A labyrinth of green marshes and blue water channels, which is one of the largest wetlands in the Middle East.
Persian Gulf Horizon
As the plane descends, the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf become visible on the horizon.
Book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountains perfectly. The approach into Mahshahr over the wetlands is the highlight, so avoid a wing-view seat for the best ground visibility.
Book Hotels in Bandar Mahshahr
Tehran Skyline
A sprawling view of the capital's dense urban grid and the Milad Tower shortly after departure from Mehrabad.
Namak Salt Lake
A vast, shimmering white salt crust landscape located near Qom, offering a stark contrast to the surrounding terrain.
Central Plateau Edges
Unique geological formations and alluvial fans where the mountains meet the arid central Iranian desert.
Petrochemical Complexes
An aerial view of the massive industrial infrastructure and storage tanks that define the Mahshahr economic zone.
For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, which can cause glare; however, it provides the best lighting for the salt lake. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff to catch the salt flats.
