Return flight FZ902 will depart Yekaterinburg at 1715hrs and arrive in Dubai at 2030hrs. Flights from Dubai start at AED 1150, with flights from Yekaterinburg from $400.”Trade between Russia and the UAE has grown considerably in recent years and the addition of a direct air link with the commercially important city of Yekaterinburg will help strengthen the relationship between the two countries,” said Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of flydubai.Yekaterinburg, formerly known as Sverdlovsk, is located to the east of the Ural Mountains and is the administrative centre of the Sverdlovsk Oblast region.One of Russia’s largest cities, Yekaterinburg has a unique architectural flavor and features more than 600 monuments. The city is perhaps most associated with the doomed Romanov imperial dynasty and the Russian Revolution. Today, the city is a hub for heavy industry, as well as a key centre for business and finance. Home to the prestigious Ural State University, Yekaterinburg is an important stop on the Trans-Siberian Railway and boasts the tallest building in Russia outside Moscow, the Antey III tower.
