Tbilisi & Kazbegi

Old-town Tbilisi and qvevri wine cellars, then Kazbegi's peaks by private car

The sulphur smell hits you before you see the domed bathhouses. That’s Tbilisi announcing itself. From Abanotubani’s steaming rooftops to Gergeti Trinity Church standing alone above the clouds, this route moves between two Georgia’s — the ancient city and the raw mountain north. Alp Travel Co. handles every transfer by private car along the Georgian Military Highway. You never retrace a step. The itinerary runs linear: Tbilisi in, Kazbegi through, Tbilisi out for your Air Arabia departure via Sharjah. Clean, efficient, no filler.

Sulphur baths at dawn. A church above the clouds by afternoon. Georgia moves fast.

Tbilisi — Paragraph Freedom Square, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Tbilisi

You check into Paragraph Freedom Square, A Luxury Collection Hotel, and head straight out. An Old Tbilisi walking tour covers Abanotubani’s bath domes and the carved wooden balconies of Kala district. That evening, a private qvevri cellar tasting puts six amber wines in front of you — poured by the winemaker, explained in full. Dinner is at Barbarestan, where the menu comes from a 19th-century Georgian cookbook. Order the walnut-stuffed chicken. Eat slowly.

Kazbegi (Stepantsminda)

Rooms Hotel Kazbegi puts Gergeti Trinity Church in your window at breakfast. You hike to it before 9 a.m., before the tour groups arrive. The trail gains 500 metres. At the top, the Caucasus opens in every direction. Back at the hotel, an afternoon horse-riding session follows the Terek River through open valley. Your guide points out the old watchtowers. In the evening, a private sulphur bath at the hotel closes the day.

Tbilisi

Your private car returns you to Tbilisi on the same Georgian Military Highway — different light, different mood. You have half a day: use it at the Narikala Fortress or the Dry Bridge market. Alp’s team confirms your Air Arabia check-in time and gets you to the airport without a scramble. The trip ends as it ran — on schedule, nothing wasted.
