Tbilisi is a popular trip from the UAE. flydubai flies to Tbilisi from Dubai International, and Air Arabia flies from Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. The airport is about 17 km south-east of central Tbilisi, so a car also gives you the freedom to see Georgia beyond the capital.
Plan your journey from Tbilisi Airport
The Kakheti Highway leads from the airport into the city. In Tbilisi, wander the Old Town, take the cable car up to Narikala Fortress and cross the Bridge of Peace at dusk. About half an hour north, Mtskheta is a UNESCO-listed former capital with the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral.
