The right side offers spectacular views of the Dena massif upon takeoff and the iconic Mount Damavand during the approach to Tehran.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Dena Massif

One of the most impressive sub-ranges of the Zagros, featuring multiple peaks over 4,000 meters immediately after departure.

🧂

Namak Lake

A vast, shimmering white salt lake located in the desert triangle between Qom and Tehran.

🕌

Qom Cityscape

Spot the distinctive architecture of the city, including its famous shrines and religious centers.

🌋

Mount Damavand

The majestic stratovolcano and highest peak in the Middle East is usually visible in the distance to the northeast.

🏗️

South Tehran Industry

Large industrial zones and complex transit hubs marking the southern entrance to the capital.

The right side is superior for morning flights to avoid sun glare. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the snow-capped Dena peaks. As you descend towards Tehran, Damavand will appear on the horizon to the northeast.

⛰️

Zagros Ridges

Observe the dramatic limestone folds of the Central Zagros range stretching toward the horizon.

Central Arid Plains

Watch as the landscape shifts from rugged green valleys to the golden hues of the Iranian plateau.

🏙️

West Tehran Districts

Aerial views of the sprawling urban layout and the massive residential complexes of the capital's western suburbs.

🛣️

Persian Gulf Highway

The main artery connecting the south to the north is visible cutting through the arid terrain below.

Sit on the left for sunset flights to see the Zagros mountains silhouetted against the sky. During the final approach into Mehrabad, look for the Azadi Tower which is sometimes visible if the flight path circles from the west.
