Which side of the plane to sit from Konarak Airport (Chah Bahar) to Mehrabad International Airport (Teheran)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the UNESCO-listed Lut Desert yardangs and the iconic snow-capped peak of Mount Damavand during the descent into Tehran.
Martian Mountains
The surreal, wavy sedimentary rock formations near Chabahar, often compared to a lunar or Martian landscape.
Dasht-e Lut Yardangs
Aerial views of the 'Kaluts,' massive sand ridges carved by wind, located in one of the hottest places on Earth.
Kerman Highlands
Dramatic views of the high-altitude peaks near Kerman, including the Hezar massif which remains snow-capped for much of the year.
Mount Damavand
The most iconic sight in Iran; the majestic, conical volcano peak is visible in the distance on the right as the plane nears Tehran.
The right side is essential for seeing the Lut Desert's unique geography. For evening flights, this side avoids the direct sunset glare. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 20-30 minutes before landing to spot Mount Damavand rising above the Alborz range.
Gulf of Oman Coastline
Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters meeting the rugged Makran coastline immediately after takeoff from Konarak.
Jazmurian Basin
A vast endorheic basin that alternates between a dry salt flat and a shallow marshland depending on the season.
Yazd Desert Landscape
The surrounding arid plains of one of the world's oldest mud-brick cities, visible as you transition into central Iran.
Namak Salt Lake
A massive, shimmering white salt crust landscape near Qom that provides a stark, alien-like contrast to the desert floor.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. This side provides the best angle for the Qom salt flats and the western sprawl of Tehran's urban landscape during the final approach to Mehrabad.
