OREANDA-NEWS. Ural Airlines continues expansion of its CIS route map by starting a new direct flight Ufa-Baku. The first flight to the capital of Azerbaijan from Ufa will take place on 25 December 2013. The new scheduled flight will be carried out on Wednesdays once a week.

Baku is not only the capital of Azerbaijan - it is a genuine treasury of outstanding architectural monuments. The Palace of Shirvanshahs, which is a part of the Baku Acropolis reserve, is considered to be the pearl of Azerbaijan. It also comprises the Maiden Tower, the Baba Kuhi Bakuvi mosque, the Bayil castle, and many other magnificent structures. In addition to monuments, each tourist must drop by the market of Baku and buy a traditional Oriental carpet, while the coastal area with hotels and rest homes with well-developed beaches and aquaparks is excellently suited for a family rest.
