Dubai: Sharjah-based budget carrier Air Arabia is to fly direct from
Sharjah to Yerevan, Armenia, which is one of the latest additions to
the Middle East carrier's destinations portfolio.
Yerevan is the fifth new destination announced by Air Arabia in the
last few weeks and promises to attract many travellers as it is only
three hours away from Sharjah airport and therefore a very convenient
attraction for nature-inspired weekend breaks.
Yerevan is the capital of Armenia and has 1.2 million inhabitants,
which is 40 per cent of Armenia's total population and makes it the
most animated city in the country.
As a tourist destination, Yerevan will provide UAE travellers the
possibility to walk in a green city, visit numerous monuments from
the former Soviet Union era, shop in traditional boutiques and markets
and discover the beauty of the snow-capped Mount Ararat.
"Yerevan is a unique destination for us as it is still uncharted
territory for many residents and travellers. We are very proud to
bring our passengers the opportunity to discover historical cities
and learn more about destinations that are out of the ordinary,"
said Adel Ali, CEO of Air Arabia.
