ZBR → ZAH
Which side of the plane to sit from Konarak Airport (Chah Bahar) to Zahedan International Airport (Zahedan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Chah Bahar Bay during takeoff and the iconic, jagged 'Martian Mountains' early in the flight, followed by a better perspective of Zahedan city on descent.
Chah Bahar Bay
A birds-eye view of Iran's only oceanic port and the bustling maritime activity of Konarak.
Martian Mountains
Unique, white-and-grey sedimentary rock formations that resemble a lunar landscape, located just northeast of the departure point.
Taftan Volcano
On clear days, the distant, snow-capped or smoking peak of Iran's only active volcano can be seen to the north.
Zahedan City Center
Excellent views of the provincial capital's grid layout and the Grand Makki Mosque's minarets during landing.
The most iconic feature, the Martian Mountains, appears within the first 10-15 minutes of flight. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff. This side generally provides better lighting for most of the northward journey.
Gulf of Oman
expansive views of the turquoise waters and the coastline stretching westward toward Bandar Abbas.
Makran Coastal Range
Stunning views of the eroded, arid mountain ridges that run parallel to the southern coast.
Hamoun-e Jaz Murian
On clear days, the distant depression of the seasonal salt lake may be visible to the far west.
Zahedan Suburbs
Industrial and residential outskirts of the city as the plane aligns for its final approach.
This side is subject to heavy glare during afternoon flights as the sun moves westward. For the best photography of the desert textures, choose a morning flight when the sun is behind the aircraft.
