Arab News refers to Tbilisi as "Georgia’s jewel"

Arab News, a popular outlet in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf countries, published an article about Georgia’s tourism potential, naming Tbilisi the country’s jewel.

Shaostha Khan, a journalist, travelled to Georgia within the framework of the press tour organized by the National Tourism Administration of Georgia.

“Khaleejis are no strangers to Georgia. Last year alone, over 140,000 GCC residents made their way there too, with Saudi Arabia providing the most visitors from the region (79 per cent),” the article author says.

According to the article, the Georgian capital is “influenced by many cultures and eras, but has a character all its own.”

The author describes locals as “hospitable and welcoming people, so it’s easy to find good food and conversation.”

He also writes about his impressions of visiting Metekhi, Abanotubani, Narikala Fortress, Tbilisi Botanic Garden, Dry Bridge and other places.
