What does the Karachi to Manchester flight path pass over?

The flight path crosses the Arabian Sea, then over the Makran Coast (southern Iran/Pakistan border region), continues over the Persian Gulf, crosses the Zagros Mountains in Iran, then proceeds over Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and the Mediterranean before reaching Europe. Notable midpoint landmarks include the Strait of Hormuz, the Zagros Mountain range, and the Mediterranean coast near Cyprus or southern Turkey. However, most of this midpoint journey occurs at cruise altitude (35,000+ feet) where individual geographic features become difficult to distinguish clearly. The most visually rewarding portions are the takeoff and landing phases at lower altitudes.
