You are reading this article probably because you are planning to travel to one of the most beautiful place on the earth. Yah literally it is one of the most beautiful parts on the earth. People with good heart and simple life style made me to rethink of my live. (What really am I doing ?)<\/span><\/p>\n

Technically Georgia is located in Eurasia, but its own people describe it in a very lovely way, it’s the balcony of Europe.<\/strong> The capital and largest city is Tbilisi. Georgia covers a territory of 69,700 square kilometres (26,911 sq mi), and its 2015 population is about 3.75 million<\/strong>. Georgia is a unitary,semi-presidential republic, with the government elected through a representative democracy.<\/span><\/p>\n

They speak they own language and most of them know how to speak Russian, but most of them do not know to speak English<\/strong>. When we spoke to some of the locals they just stared at us as we are people from Mars. so be prepared for the surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n

So if you have not visited Georgia yet, pack your bags, book your tickets and just get going\u2026.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Requirements<\/h3>\n

I traveled from UAE, The requirements may vary from the country you are travelling or your nationality. You need to have valid Flight Ticket and Hotel Reservation. The visa is on arrival for most of the nationalities. You may have to have over 5000 AED of bank balance but you can always double check with a travel agent before you book your ticket. <\/span><\/p>\n

On your own or through a travel agent<\/h3>\n

If it is your first time to travel or you do not want to waste your time on looking for the best hotel and booking the flights, googling for the best places to visit in Georgia. There is an easy option. <\/span><\/p>\n

Just contact a travel agent. If you are travelling from UAE I would suggest you to check out <\/span>Holiday Factory<\/span><\/a> these guys are so professional and just saved more of my time. I simply had to give them a call then they did the rest, In two days I got all the required documents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Holiday Factory will arrange your ticket, then book your hotels, pick and drop you from the airport and also they have reasonable tour packages inside Georgia<\/a>. So you only have to worry about how to spend your vacation the most amazing way.<\/span><\/p>\n

But If you want to save some bugs you can travel on your own, there are plenty of hotels and tour agencies in Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Must have checklist – Honestly this is my own check list.<\/h3>\n

Better to have a checklist so you will not miss any important things, specially some must have things such as Brush, or Sweaters (if it is winter).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"travel-to-georgia-from-dubai_checklist\"<\/p>\n

Summers tend to be hot, while winters are cold in Georgia. This means that you\u2019ll need a variety of clothing, suited to all seasons. Also, the clothing style in Georgia tends to be on the conservative side, and most people wear darker colors. I went on autumn which is a perfect time to visit if you love cold and hot weather at the same time. Or if you want to see Snow and Water on the same place \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

Carry US Dollars and you can exchange it to Georgian currencies (Lari), but better to keep some Dollars a swell, some Tour agencies may accept only Dollars.<\/p>\n

                It is pretty hard to find Halal food restaurants\u00a0<\/strong>in Georgia, so better bring some dry foods. <\/span><\/p>\n

                Packing Tips<\/h3>\n

                Keep in mind the baggage limits on your flight. \u00a0Weigh your bags before you go to the airport to make sure they are not too heavy!<\/span><\/p>\n

                Where to stay – Hotels, Hostels or Road<\/h3>\n

                There are hotels pretty much everywhere and they are quite cheap, its up to you where you want to rest, most of the time you will be out enjoying the nature. If you book through a travel agent then they will arrange your hotel as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

                \"travel-to-georgia-from-dubai_hotel\"<\/p>\n

                What to eat – Wine, Bread and Pork that’s what they fill their tummy with.<\/h3>\n

                If you are a vegetarian still you are lucky, you will get to eat fresh and super healthy vegetables (vegetables and fruits taste different here) and they are very much fresh.<\/span><\/p>\n

                Halal foods are also available in the Tbilisi city, but you have to specifically ask for Halal food<\/strong>, since some may say it is Halal but it is not. Hotels breakfast includes Halal foods, I stayed for 4 days and all 4 days the breakfast was Egg and Bread<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

                There is an Indian restaurant (T<\/strong>haj Mahal)<\/strong> in Tbilisi, which is famous among tourist, and they are expanding their branches to other cities very soon, so Halal Food<\/strong> crisis may be resolved in the near future.<\/p>\n

                Ask for Kacha Puri,<\/strong> which is made of wheat and cheese, available in most of the places. They also have river fish which taste yummy.<\/span><\/p>\n
