Ufa City Skyline
A clear view of Ufa sitting on its high plateau, featuring the Monument of Friendship and the city's unique geography.
Naberezhnye Chelny
The urban sprawl of the city famous for the Kamaz plant, situated along the Kama River banks.
Kama River Valley
Scenic views of one of Russia's largest rivers as the flight tracks westward toward the Volga.
Kazan Kremlin
The UNESCO World Heritage site with its white walls and the blue-domed Kul Sharif Mosque, visible during final approach.
Kazan Arena
The modern architectural landmark of the Ak Bars Arena and the stadiums along the Kazanka River.
The right side is the 'urban' side for this route. On the final approach into KZN, the plane often maneuvers to give the right side a perfect view of the historic center of Kazan. For sunset flights, this side will be shaded, making photography of the Kremlin much easier without glare.

Belaya River Bend
The winding loops of the White River snaking through the southern outskirts of Ufa shortly after takeoff.
Tatarstan Plains
An intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and small rural settlements in the fertile Volga-Ural region.
Nizhnekamsk Industrial Zone
Distant views of the massive petrochemical complexes that define the industrial heart of the region.
Kuybyshev Reservoir
The vast 'Volga Sea', visible as a massive expanse of water where the Kama and Volga rivers meet.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers the best perspective of the massive reservoir system south of Kazan, which looks like a sea from high altitude. Look for the contrast between the industrial zones and the lush riverbanks in late spring.
