I made some pics during the flight from Dubai to Frankfurt. Many of them are shot over the Iran.

I know the weather wasn`t the best and the diggicam had problem to made sharp pics (autofocus). But i hope you like them.

The pics are in time order. The 2 small pics aren`t sharp enough for uploading them larger.

I think I saw this same mountain when I flew over Iran. I flew over Western Iran (close to Iraq), over the Zagros (?) mountains. Then I think I saw one, almost exactly like this one, but smaller in size, few minutes later.

Anyways, nice pics, especially the last one & the second one.
Thanks for sharing.

WOW nice pics man, thank you fot sharing

would anyone know the name of the big mountain?

btw, would a flight from Dubai to Frankfurt, pass over Iran actually?

Yeah, Emirates flies over it. UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman >>> Germany. UAE >>> UK . Gulf Air does too. As a matter of fact, I think all airlines coming from the region of UAE & heading to Western Europe, fly over Iran, if the flight is direct. None that I know of go over Iraq.

^^ They fly over Iran to stay away from Iraq. BA, GF,KL still go over Iraq. Following the recent GF incident (near-collision), I think it won't fly over Iraq again!

NICE PICS!!! WOW!

oh thank you,

btw i forgot that the world was round, because i was looking at a map, but according to a globe, the shortest distance would be over Iran because world is rounD!

Etihad flows over lebanon, syria, saudi to get to UAE for their brussels Abu Dhabi flight. wierd route.

amazing pics ! :)

What an old thread.
I post some new pics.
This time i flew from Abu Dhabi over Iran, to bad i was sitting on the wrong side of the plane. I had some problems with the sun and the reflections.

Now it`s difficult. Somehow the flightmap on my flight was useless. I am not sure if this is still Iran or Turkey.

I think it`s for agriculture.

^^ I think so, too (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_pivot_irrigation).

Awesome shots, as usual! Are you some kind of travel journalist or how do you manage to have such a great 24/7 travel program? :D

thanks for the pics, but that looks like a desert? How could you farm in that environment?
