Just a short flight from the Gulf, Armenia is a vibrant destination for UAE travellers seeking authentic cultural experiences, pristine nature and world-class hospitality.

With visa-free access for Gulf residents, expanding flight connections and a growing portfolio of investment opportunities, the country offers convenience alongside exceptional growth potential.

“We don't have oil or gas, but we have people. Our people are our greatest treasure,” said Lusine Gevorgyan, chairperson of the Tourism Committee of Armenia.

“We enjoy over 300 sunny days a year, even in winter, which makes our country attractive for both leisure and business travellers.”

Armenia's tourism strategy for 2026-2030 focuses on cultural heritage, gastronomy, agritourism and adventure tourism, building on its reputation as a safe, family-friendly destination. “Despite being a small country, Armenia has a rich history and over 10 UNESCO-recognised heritage sites,” Gevorgyan explained. “We also offer vibrant nightlife and are known as one of the safest countries in the world. In Armenia, it's common to leave your bag or phone at a café table without any worries — no one touches it.”
