The right side offers a dramatic sequence featuring the iconic Mount Erciyes volcano, the sprawling reservoirs of the Euphrates, and a grand entrance into the Muล Plain.
The right side offers a superior vantage point for Istanbul's urban core during departure and the spectacular rugged canyons of the Euphrates River and Taurus Mountains during the descent.
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the massive Keban Dam reservoir and the dramatic winding path of the Euphrates River. It also benefits from better lighting as the sun is typically to the south, illuminating the Anatolian plateau and the approach toward the Lake Van region.
