Direct Flights Dammam-Tbilisi-Dammam Bring Arabs to Enjoy Georgian Summer

Direct flights on the Dammam-Tbilisi-Dammam route started operation from July 13, three times a week, on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays with B-735/737 and CRJ 100 type aircrafts.

The flights, operated by Georgian Airways, come in cooperation with Yekta Safar Georgia, Seven Sky and Dream Travel and will allow more Arabians to be able to explore Georgia.

Arabians have already taken advantage of the new flight schedule to visit Tbilisi from Dammam, and are currently enjoying Georgia’s green environment and rich culture.

“With these flights Arabs will have a better opportunity to get to know Georgia; they already love the rich green nature, forests and woods here,” Mr. Ali Akbar, representative of Seven Sky in Georgia said.

It is expected that up to 500 travelers will arrive in Georgia each week via the new scheduled flights in the coming months.

The tours offered them include in and around Tbilisi, Batumi and Borjomi. The Tbilisi tour also offers a trip to Mstkheta and a stay in Hotels & Preference near Tbilisi Sea. Batumi, as a tourist hub, will host the guests at hotels Intourist Colosseum and President Plaza.

"The trip to Borjomi is not only to enable the guests to enjoy the astonishing and amazing nature but also, with the collaboration of Rixos, to relax with special spa treatments," Akbar added.

"We faced several challenges with these tours, in particular the demand for five star hotels, which are few, and the availability of halal meat in restaurants."

The passengers are not only considered as leisure tourists but are also interested in investing in the Georgian market and real estate. One of the activities of the mentioned companies is to introduce and promote Georgia as a tourist-investment hub.

"We believe Georgia is a perfect hub for tourists, and we are ready to cooperate with high standard resorts and tourist destinations in different regions throughout the country," Akbar said.

The tours are being handled to the highest standards specifically for the demands of the Arabs. Halal meat, Arab-Georgian tour guides and other facilities will be available to let the guests get the best experience while discovering Georgia.
