The descent provides a striking contrast between the vast, golden desert plains and the concentrated urban architecture of Birjand set against a backdrop of rocky hills.
The left side provides an unparalleled view of Mount Damavand and the Alborz mountain range shortly after takeoff, followed by the striking transitions of the eastern desert landscapes.
The right side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic transition from the urban sprawl of Mashhad to the ancient agricultural landscapes and unique geological formations of the South Khorasan province.
