On morning flights, be prepared for intense sun on this side; high-quality sunglasses are essential. The best views of the Zagros Mountains occur roughly 4 hours into the flight. For the most iconic Doha skyline photo, look out as the plane banks over the Persian Gulf for its final approach to Hamad International.

Watch for the crystalline structures of the Anatolian plateau mid-flight, which are particularly vivid under the midday sun.
