Georgia Tour Package from Abu Dhabi and Dubai

Group tours mean you join other travellers in a coach or minibus on the touring days, on a set route. A private car means your own driver and vehicle, so you choose when to leave, where to stop and how long to stay. Families with small children and groups of four or more often find the private car is worth the difference, because one vehicle is shared across everyone.

Prices move with the calendar. The December break, National Day, New Year and Eid are the busiest times for flights from the UAE to Tbilisi, and fares rise early. Late spring and early autumn are usually quieter and better value. If you are flexible, look at the cheapest tour packages this month before you settle on dates.

A package often costs less than booking the same flight and hotel apart, because we buy hotel nights and transfers in bulk. We quote from both Zayed International and Dubai International when the fare difference is worth the drive.

• Flight times: an early arrival in Tbilisi gives you an extra half day; a late departure saves a hotel night but means a tired flight home
• Hotel location: a hotel in or near the old town costs a little more but saves taxis every evening
• Room type: family rooms and connecting rooms sell out first over the winter break
• Children's prices depend on age, the airline's child fare and the hotel's child policy

1. 01

   Day 1: Arrive in Tbilisi

   Pickup at Tbilisi airport and transfer to your hotel. If you land in daylight, walk through the old town: the sulphur bath domes of Abanotubani, the narrow lanes with carved wooden balconies, and the Peace Bridge over the Mtkvari river. Dinner at a Georgian restaurant, where khachapuri (cheese bread) and khinkali (dumplings) are the dishes to try.

2. 02

   Day 2: Tbilisi city tour and the cable car

   A guided morning in the old town and Rike Park, then the cable car up to Narikala Fortress for the view over the city and the Mother of Georgia statue. The afternoon is free for Rustaveli Avenue, the Dry Bridge market or a private room at the sulphur baths.

3. 03

   Day 3: Mtskheta, Jvari and Ananuri to Gudauri

   Drive to Mtskheta, the old capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site, to see Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, then up to Jvari Monastery above the meeting of two rivers. Continue north on the Georgian Military Highway past Ananuri fortress on the Zhinvali reservoir to Gudauri. Stay the night in Gudauri, or return to Tbilisi if you prefer one hotel.

4. 04

   Day 4: Kazbegi and Gergeti Trinity Church

   Over the Jvari Pass to the town of Stepantsminda, still called Kazbegi by most visitors. A 4x4 takes you up to Gergeti Trinity Church, with Mount Kazbek behind it on a clear day. Stop at the Friendship Monument viewpoint near Gudauri on the way back. In snow season this is the day for sledging, a snowmobile ride or a ski lesson. Return to Tbilisi in the evening.

5. 05

   Day 5: Kakheti wine region or a free day

   Choose a full-day trip east to Kakheti: the hilltop town of Sighnaghi, Bodbe Monastery and a family winery with lunch (grape juice and fruit tastings are easy to arrange instead of wine). Or keep the day free for shopping, the Dezerter Bazaar, the Botanical Garden or a slow last lunch in the old town.

6. 06

   Day 6: Fly home

   Breakfast, check-out and transfer to Tbilisi airport for your flight back to Abu Dhabi or Dubai.

For four nights, we drop the Kakheti day. For six or seven nights, we add Batumi or a second mountain region, described below. The mountain road above Gudauri can close for a few hours or days after heavy snow, so we keep the Kazbegi day flexible in winter and switch it with Kakheti if needed.

Free time in Tbilisi? Good ways to fill it: the Holy Trinity (Sameba) Cathedral, the Georgian National Museum on Rustaveli Avenue, the Chronicles of Georgia monument above the Tbilisi Sea, the funicular to Mtatsminda for the evening view, and the Fabrika area for cafes. Most are a short taxi ride from the old town.

Short on leave? A 4-night winter version keeps the snow and drops the extras:

1. 01

   Day 1: Tbilisi

   Arrive, check in, evening walk in the old town.

2. 02

   Day 2: Tbilisi and Mtskheta

   Morning city tour and cable car, afternoon at Mtskheta and Jvari.

3. 03

   Day 3: Gudauri snow day

   Early start up the Georgian Military Highway via Ananuri. A full day of skiing, sledging or snowmobiles, back to Tbilisi in the evening or a night in Gudauri.

4. 04

   Day 4: Kazbegi or a free day

   Gergeti Trinity Church if the road is open; if not, a free day in Tbilisi or a trip to Kakheti.

5. 05

   Day 5: Fly home

   Transfer to the airport.

Longer trip? Here is how a 7-night version with the Black Sea usually runs. It suits summer, when Batumi is warm and the mountain roads are fully open.

1. 01

   Days 1 and 2: Tbilisi

   Arrival, the old town, the cable car to Narikala and an evening on the riverside.

2. 02

   Day 3: Mtskheta and Jvari

   A half day at the old capital, then back to Tbilisi for a free afternoon.

3. 03

   Day 4: Kazbegi

   The Georgian Military Highway via Ananuri and Gudauri to Gergeti Trinity Church, with green valleys and waterfalls along the road in summer.

4. 04

   Day 5: To Batumi

   Train, road or a short flight west to the Black Sea. Evening on the Batumi boulevard.

5. 05

   Day 6: Batumi

   Botanical Garden, the cable car above the city, the old town squares and a beach afternoon.

6. 06

   Day 7: Free day in Batumi

   Beach, shopping or a trip into the green hills of Adjara for waterfalls and mountain villages.

Georgia's entry rules depend on your nationality, and for some passports on holding a valid UAE residence visa. Many UAE residents can enter without applying in advance. Others need a Georgia e-visa approved before they fly. The rules change from time to time, so we check every passport in your group before we book flights.

Apply at least two to three weeks before travel, more before the December break.

Georgia is one of several easy trips for many passports. For the full list, see our guide to visa-free countries for UAE residents.

Three situations cause most entry problems for UAE residents. Second, a new passport without the residence visa linked to it yet: bring both passports. Third, mixed groups: a family can hold three different passports with three different rules, so we check each person, including children.

Summer is a cool escape from UAE heat, and Batumi adds a beach. For other cool places in July and August, see our summer holiday packages from uae. In winter, pack proper boots and layers: Gudauri is well below freezing on most days, and the mountain road may close for a time after heavy snow.

A few things to know about the snow season. Gudauri is the main ski resort on the Kazbegi road, with ski schools, equipment hire and gentle slopes near the hotels. January and February usually have the most reliable snow. In December, snow is likely but less certain, so we plan a backup day in Tbilisi or Kakheti.

UAE school breaks drive demand. Book four to eight weeks ahead for these dates, and earlier for National Day and New Year.

1. 01

   Send your dates and passports

   WhatsApp your travel dates, the number of adults and children with ages, and a photo of each passport and residence visa.

2. 02

   We check entry and quote

   We confirm whether anyone needs an e-visa and send a day-by-day plan with the price, inclusions and exclusions.

3. 03

   Adjust and confirm

   Change the hotel grade, add Batumi or Armenia, or switch to a private car.

4. 04

   Get your travel pack

   Tickets, hotel vouchers, driver details, the itinerary and any e-visa approvals, a few days before you fly.

Booking through a local agency rather than an overseas website has practical benefits. You deal with one consultant in Abu Dhabi who knows your plan, your driver in Georgia has our contact, and if a flight is cancelled or the mountain road closes, we rearrange the day for you. You also see every inclusion and exclusion before you pay, and can bring your documents to an office instead of uploading them to a stranger.

You can also book in person at Office 329A, 3rd Floor, Mushrif Mall, Abu Dhabi, next to du and opposite Spinneys, with free parking. We have been open since 20 May 2020 and are rated 4.6 on Google from about 280 reviews (3 November 2026). We take cards and NFC mobile payments. Looking at other places too?
