Which side of the plane to sit from Mehrabad International Airport (Teheran) to Yasouj Airport (Yasuj)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more intimate look at the rugged Zagros mountain ridges and the dramatic approach into the mountainous terrain surrounding Yasuj.
Zagros Ridges
Spectacular views of the folded mountain structures that characterize western Iran.
Central Arid Lands
Deeply eroded canyons and unique geological folds of the Iranian plateau.
Mount Dena Massif
Dramatic close-up views of the 4,000-meter peaks during the descent into Yasuj.
Bashar River Valley
The winding river and its green banks cutting through the high mountain landscape.
Mountain Settlements
Isolated villages and terraced fields nestled within the high-altitude valleys.
The right side is superior for the descent phase, offering breathtaking views of the Dena mountain range. For the best photography, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the western slopes of the Zagros. Be prepared for a scenic but occasionally turbulent approach due to the high elevation and terrain surrounding Yasuj Airport.
Tehran Skyline
Panoramic views of the sprawling capital and the Milad Tower during initial climb.
Mount Damavand
The majestic snow-capped volcanic cone is often visible in the distance to the northeast.
Namak Salt Lake
A vast, brilliant white salt crust lake located near the city of Qom.
Isfahan Region
Views of the arid plains and historical landscapes surrounding the Isfahan oasis.
Dena Range Peaks
Striking limestone peaks of the southern Zagros as the flight nears its destination.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the salt lakes and distant Alborz peaks. This side is better for seeing the scale of Tehran's expansion shortly after takeoff from Mehrabad.
