A clear perspective of the grid-like urban layout of Zahedan and its surrounding arid plains immediately after departure.
Kerman Mountain Ranges
Continuous views of the jagged, reddish-brown mountain chains that define the central Iranian plateau.
Maharloo Lake
The spectacular pink salt lake located just southeast of Shiraz, most vibrant during the late summer months.
Shiraz Urban Sprawl
The descent offers a view of the 'City of Gardens' and its historic domes as the aircraft aligns with the runway.
The right side is essential for seeing Maharloo Lake's pink water on descent. Choose a window seat away from the engine to capture the color contrast between the salt flats and the city.

Hezar Massif
Dramatic views of the high peaks in Kerman province, often retaining snow well into the spring season.
