Tbilisi

Tbilisi rises along the banks of the Kura River, its old town a mix of narrow lanes, sulfur bathhouses and a hilltop fortress overlooking the rooftops, with the wider Caucasus mountains visible on clear days beyond the city. It suits a Gulf family looking for a warm welcome and a slower pace than the larger European capitals, and it also serves as a starting point for the coastal city of Batumi further along the rail line.

Haqqi Tours arranges the Tbilisi Airport transfer for arrival into the city, along with Tbilisi to Batumi Train Tickets for the onward coastal leg. Both are settled through the WhatsApp desk in Arabic or English, with the cost written down ahead of travel, so a family moving between the old town and the Black Sea coast has both legs of the journey arranged in one conversation.
