Discover Armenia with expertly designed holiday packages from Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Ancient cliff-top monasteries, views of Mount Ararat, the world's longest cable car at Tatev, Lake Sevan, wine and brandy country and legendary hospitality — with flights, hotels, transfers and visa help handled end-to-end.
Why Armenia
Armenia sits just a short flight from the UAE, yet opens the door to a world of ancient wonder — the first country to adopt Christianity in 301 AD, dotted with cliff-top monasteries, framed by the sacred twin peaks of Mount Ararat and home to 6,000-year-old wine country. For UAE residents it's one of the easiest and most affordable escapes: flights are around 3 hours from Dubai, entry is simple for most travellers, and your dirham goes a long way on hotels, food and tours.
Whether you want a Yerevan city and culture break, a ride on the world's longest cable car to Tatev, a lakeside escape at Lake Sevan, a wine and brandy trail through Areni, or a snowy winter in Tsaghkadzor — Gulliver Travels designs the whole trip around you: return flights, hand-picked hotels, private transfers, guided tours and visa assistance, all bookable on WhatsApp from Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
Most nationalities enjoy visa-free entry or a simple e-Visa — we confirm your exact route before you pay.
Direct flights from Dubai and Sharjah to Yerevan mean you can leave after work and wake up in the Caucasus.
Tsaghkadzor offers great-value skiing and a scenic ropeway from December to April — ideal for a UAE winter escape.
Escape the UAE heat: Armenian highlands, Dilijan's forests and Lake Sevan stay pleasantly mild in summer.
Meals, taxis, tours and 4–5 star hotels cost far less than the UAE — your budget goes further.
6,000 years of winemaking at Areni and world-famous Armenian brandy — with tastings built into your trip.
The world's first Christian nation — UNESCO monasteries, Garni Temple and treasures dating back millennia.
Kid-friendly cable cars, lakes and easy pacing — plus halal-friendly dining available in Yerevan.

Destination guide
From lively Yerevan to cliff-top monasteries, the world's longest cable car and shimmering Lake Sevan — here are the places we build your itinerary around, all within easy reach.
The pink-stone capital — Republic Square fountains, the Cascade complex, Vernissage market, brandy houses, cafés and one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities.
Armenia's most iconic view — a monastery on the plain with the twin snow-capped peaks of Mount Ararat towering behind. Deeply historic and endlessly photogenic.
The Greco-Roman Garni Temple above a gorge of basalt "Symphony of Stones", paired with the UNESCO rock-cut Geghard Monastery carved into the cliffs — an easy day trip from Yerevan.

"Armenian Switzerland" — forested hills, mineral springs and the beautiful Haghartsin Monastery, plus Parz Lake and gentle hiking trails in Dilijan National Park.
The 9th-century Tatev Monastery perched above the Vorotan Gorge, reached by the "Wings of Tatev" — the world's longest reversible aerial cable car and a highlight of any trip.
Home to the Areni-1 cave — the world's oldest known winery at around 6,100 years old — plus family wineries, tastings and the red-rock road to Noravank.
A jewel-like 13th-century monastery set against dramatic red-orange cliffs in a narrow gorge — famous for its two-storey Surb Astvatsatsin church and steep exterior stairs.
Armenia's premier ski resort just an hour from Yerevan — a modern ropeway up Mount Teghenis, well-groomed slopes for all levels and the historic Kecharis Monastery.
The spiritual heart of Armenia and seat of the Armenian Church — the UNESCO Mother Cathedral (one of the world's oldest) and the nearby ruins of Zvartnots.

Loved by UAE travellers
Booked the 5-day Highlights package for my family from Dubai. The Mount Ararat view from Khor Virap was unreal, the driver-guide was excellent and everything ran on time. Gulliver handled flights, hotel and visa — zero stress.
Travelled with three kids and it was so easy. The cable cars, Lake Sevan and relaxed plan meant nobody got tired. The team even found halal restaurants for us. Highly recommend for families.
Our honeymoon in Armenia was magical. A private wine tour in Areni, the Tatev cable car and a mountain-view room — all arranged perfectly. Thank you Gulliver Travels for making it special.
First time seeing snow for my kids! Tsaghkadzor was perfect — ski lessons, snow play and the ropeway. Coming from the UAE heat it felt like another world. Booked entirely over WhatsApp.
Quick weekend trip to Yerevan and it was flawless. They sorted my tickets and confirmations fast and answered every question on WhatsApp within minutes. Great value and very professional.
Lake Sevan in summer was such a nice change from Dubai — the blue water, Sevanavank monastery and fresh trout were amazing. The lake-view hotel they picked was excellent and every transfer was on time.
The Areni wine day was a highlight — beautiful wineries, the Areni-1 cave and a very knowledgeable guide. Booking from Abu Dhabi was simple and the price was better than any other quote I got.
Seven days across Yerevan, the mountains, Tatev and wine country — brilliantly planned with a great balance of sightseeing and free time. Responsive, honest and genuinely helpful team. Will book again.
Came with a group of friends for the adventure package — the Wings of Tatev cable car and ziplining were incredible. Everything booked and paid smoothly. Great for group trips from Dubai.
The luxury package exceeded expectations — 5-star hotels, private chauffeur and VIP airport meet. Seamless from start to finish. Worth every dirham and beautifully organised.
Really good trip and great service. We had one rainy day in the mountains but the team quickly rearranged our plan. Very flexible and easy to deal with. Would recommend.
From the first WhatsApp message to landing back home, everything was smooth. Clear pricing, no hidden costs and lovely hotels. Armenia is now our favourite trip from the UAE.
