Armenia Holidays from Dubai
Armenia rewards travellers who like history in landscape. Monasteries sit at the edge of gorges, inside caves and on high plateaus, and most are within a couple of hours of Yerevan — which makes a short trip surprisingly rich.
Yerevan itself is built in warm pink tuff stone, with a café culture that spills onto the streets from late morning onwards. Lake Sevan provides a change of scale, and the cable car to Tatev in the south is among the longest of its kind.
Highlights
- Yerevan’s Republic Square, Cascade Complex and Vernissage market
- Garni, a Hellenistic temple above the Azat gorge
- Geghand Monastery, partly carved directly into rock
- Khor Virap with Mount Ararat rising behind it
- Lake Sevan and the Sevanavank peninsula
- The Wings of Tatev cable car to Tatev Monastery
