Lots of densely built-up areas close to Mehrabad. It's at the lower, poorer part of Tehran.
(I thought it was supposed to be replaced by the new airport way out of town near the Ayatollah's Shrine?)
EDIT - Imam Khomenei International handles international flights. Mehrabad still does domestic and some Haji charters. (According to Wikipedia & the AP link above)
