Georgia

Georgia sits where Europe meets Asia, between the Greater Caucasus mountains and the Black Sea, and packs snow-capped peaks, green valleys, seaside resorts and historic towns into a small area. The capital, Tbilisi, charms visitors with its old quarters, wooden balconies and sulphur baths, while the mountains shelter stone villages and monasteries perched on hillsides. Georgians are renowned for their hospitality and for a generous cuisine of breads, cheeses and grilled dishes.

A destination for every kind of trip

Georgia is a popular choice for families and groups from Libya and the Arab world, thanks to its stunning scenery and wide range of activities. Visitors enjoy the mountain road to Kazbegi and the Gergeti Trinity Church, the spring waters and parks of Borjomi, and the beaches and botanical garden of Batumi. History lovers discover ancient Mtskheta and the rock-cut town of Uplistsikhe, while snow lovers head to the Gudauri ski resort in winter. Halal food is available in Tbilisi and Batumi.
