Samarkand, one of the oldest towns in the world, is a significant hub of human civilization and is thought to be as old as Rome and Athens. This culturally significant city, which is currently listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, served as a significant crossroads on the Silk Road. The Registan Mosque and madrasas, Bibi-Khanum Mosque, Shakhi-Zinda complex, Gur-Emir ensemble, and Ulugh-Observatory Beg’s are just a few of Samarkand’s distinctive landmarks.
Jeyhun Efendi, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations and E-Commerce at flydubai, commented on the beginning of flights by saying: “Central Asia is an important and expanding market for flydubai. Our customers from Samarkand and the surrounding areas will have a simpler and more effective method to travel to the UAE and beyond thanks to flydubai’s new service. Beginning in September, we will offer a twice-weekly service, and we anticipate that the market will continue to expand.
Six Central Asian cities are served by flydubai flights, including Almaty and Nur-Sultan in Kazakhstan, Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan, Dushanbe in Tajikistan, Samarkand, and Tashkent in Uzbekistan.
