Discover the Adriatic's hidden gem with expertly designed Montenegro holiday packages from Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Sail the UNESCO Bay of Kotor, wander medieval Kotor and Budva, relax by Sveti Stefan and raft the Tara Canyon — with flights, hotels, transfers, tours and visa help handled end-to-end.
Why Montenegro
Montenegro packs staggering variety into one small, beautiful country — the fjord-like Bay of Kotor, medieval walled towns, glamorous beaches, dramatic mountains and deep river canyons, all within a couple of hours' drive. For UAE travellers it's an easy, affordable slice of Europe: flights are around 6 hours to Tivat, the euro is the currency, and the Adriatic coast rivals anywhere in the Mediterranean at a fraction of the price.
Sail beneath the cliffs of the Bay of Kotor, explore the old towns of Kotor and Budva, admire the iconic islet of Sveti Stefan, raft the Tara Canyon and cruise Lake Skadar — then pair it all with a day trip to Dubrovnik in neighbouring Croatia. Gulliver Travels designs the whole journey around you — return flights, hand-picked hotels, private transfers, guided tours and visa assistance, all bookable on WhatsApp from Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
UAE nationals enter visa-free for up to 90 days; many UAE residents qualify for visa-free entry too. We confirm your exact route.
Fly to Tivat or Podgorica from Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah — a short hop into the heart of the Adriatic.
Golden bays, pebble coves and crystal-clear water from Budva to Sveti Stefan — the Med at its best.
The Bay of Kotor and Kotor's old town are UNESCO-listed — walled lanes, churches and fortress climbs.
Durmitor's peaks, the Black Lake and Europe's deepest canyon on the Tara River — raft, hike or ski.
Sail the bay to Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks, and admire the legendary islet of Sveti Stefan.
Meals, tours and hotels cost far less than Western Europe — a premium Adriatic trip for less.
Dubrovnik is a scenic two-hour drive away — pair Montenegro with a Croatian day trip.

A dramatic black mountain crowned by the Njegoš Mausoleum, reached by a hair-raising serpentine road with unforgettable panoramas over the coast.
Montenegro's historic royal capital — a charming small town of old palaces, museums and monasteries at the foot of Mount Lovćen.
