Top 5 visa-free destinations for a quick holiday revealed

With a long weekend on the horizon, many UAE residents are planning quick getaways. Travel agencies are seeing increased interest in visa-free destinations that offer a mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation.

While travel demand has been steady, a recent surge in searches for countries like Georgia indicates a strong desire for short, hassle-free holidays.

Gorgeous Georgia

Georgia has seen a 21 per cent increase in search interest from UAE residents this month. This European country, known for its stunning landscapes, is a popular choice for families due to attractions like the National Museum of Georgia and the fun-filled Mtatsminda Park.

However, travellers should note that while UAE residents generally don’t need a visa, some nationalities may face stricter entry requirements.
