Western Lut Yardangs
Intricate wind-eroded clay ridges known as Kaluts that create a Martian-like landscape.
Kuh-e Hazaran
A massive peak near Kerman that remains snow-capped well into the spring months.
Yazd Ancient City
The distinctive earth-toned architecture and wind-catchers of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Namak Lake
A vast, blindingly white salt lake near Qom that provides a sharp contrast to the surrounding desert.
Tehran Skyline
Panoramic views of the capital's southern districts and the Azadi Tower on final approach.
For the best experience, choose an afternoon flight to see the Lut Desert yardangs cast long, dramatic shadows. Sit in the front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the Yazd oasis. In winter, the contrast between the white salt flats and the brown mountains is particularly photogenic.

Rig-e Yalan Dunes
Some of the world's tallest sand dunes located in the heart of the Lut Desert.
Gandom Beryan
A plateau of black volcanic rock known for recording some of the highest ground temperatures on Earth.
Dasht-e Kavir Swirls
The hypnotic salt crust patterns and dried-up riverbeds of the Great Salt Desert.
Mount Damavand
On clear days, the iconic 5,610m volcanic cone is visible in the far distance to the northeast.
The right side is ideal for passengers wanting to see the deeper, more remote parts of the central Iranian deserts. Keep a sharp eye on the northern horizon about 20 minutes before landing to spot the snow-capped peak of Mount Damavand. Morning flights are better for this side to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun.
