SCAT | SCAT Airline destinations: discover new horizons

You should visit Armenia because here you can admire the majestic Mount Ararat in all its glory. Mount Ararat is a symbol of homeland for all Armenians, and despite being located outside the territory of Armenia, it offers the most breathtaking and unforgettable view of this sacred mountain.

Moreover, you would regret it if you don't see the city that is 30 years older than Rome at least once in your lifetime. Yerevan is a paradox city. An ancient city dating back almost three-thousand-year history, however having hardly any old buildings left. During the Soviet era, Yerevan was completely rebuilt, with wide avenues radiating from the main Republic Square and a circular boulevard, which transformed the once provincial Erevan into a capital city and gave it an unexpected resemblance to Paris.

Moreover, the combination of the grand Stalinist Empire style and elements of traditional Armenian architecture, embodied in pink tuff stone, is a unique phenomenon that doesn't require any comparisons.

Popular places

Cascade

Visit the Cascade, a monumental staircase that connects the lower and upper parts of the city. It features panoramic terraces, numerous cafes, fountains, and even a museum of modern art located within its steps. It is a sight that would make any European capital envious.

Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts

Take a tour of the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts, also known as the Matenadaran. It is one of the world's richest repositories of medieval manuscripts, housing rare handwritten books in Armenian and many other languages, covering various fields of knowledge such as history, philosophy, medicine, literature, art, and cosmography. The collection of ancient manuscripts at the Matenadaran represents a unique treasure. In 1997, it was listed in the UNESCO Memory of the World register.

Multi-talented artist Sergei Parajanov

Visit the Museum-Theatre, an aesthetic carnival, a creative workshop, and the recreated atmosphere of the actual apartment where the multi-talented artist Sergei Parajanov lived. As Boris Messerer, a friend of his, once said, "People went to Parajanov like pilgrims to a sacred place, hoping for healing or at least for the uplifting influence of this mighty personality."
