Want to make a spur of the minute decision and travel during the Eid holiday? Visit an unusual destination – Georgia. No, this is not the US state of Georgia made famous by Ray Charles – “Georgia on my mind.” This is the Central Asian state of Georgia which now allows all UAE nationals and expats who have a resident visa of the UAE to receive a visa on arrival. Just book a flight and a hotel and off you go.
Etihad Airways, Air Arabia and Flydubai all have regular flights to Tblisi, the capital of Georgia from Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Dubai. During the Eid holidays the daytime temperature in Tbilisi will be around 29C but night time temperatures will be a pleasant 17C. This will be a great change from the highs of 40C expected in the UAE.
