Questions people ask us

Is the visa really included?

Yes. We file your Georgian e-visa with you and pay the fee. You send us a passport scan and a photo.

Do I need to go to Abbasiya?

Yes, once, for the security pass. We send you the exact papers and steps so it is a short visit.

Who will I travel with?

A group of up to 20 travellers from Egypt: friends, couples and people travelling alone. An Arabic-speaking guide is with the group on every day trip.

I am travelling alone. Where do I sleep?

Pick a room of your own, or a room for two and we pair you with a traveller of the same gender.

Is the food halal?

Tbilisi has many halal restaurants, including Egyptian and Lebanese ones. Every group dinner has a halal menu.

How cold is it?

Tbilisi is around 0 to 8°C in late December. The mountains are well below zero. We send you a packing list after you book.

How do I pay?

Pay the deposit by card on a secure link, or by InstaPay or bank transfer. You can split the rest into two payments before the due date.

What if snow closes the road to Kazbegi?

We spend the day in Gudauri and nearby snow spots instead, and the jeep ride moves to another day if the road opens.
