UAE citizens can drop into the country without a visa too

Visiting the UAE is at the top of most people’s bucket lists. Why wouldn’t it be? We’ve got record-breaking attractions, phenomenal views and so many things to do here.

 And soon, thanks to a bilateral agreement between the UAE and Armenia, citizens from the Asian country can enjoy the beauty of the UAE without the hassle of paper work.

From February 1, citizens of the Republic of Armenia will be able to easily enter, exit and transit through Abu Dhabi without a visa.

Citizens of the UAE can also travel to Armenia without a visa; they can stay in the country for up to 180 days in a year.

Armenia is the latest in a number of countries that include visa-free travel for The UAE citizens. Some others who’ve made the list include Turkey, Uzbekistan and Kosovo.

Thinking of a trip to Armenia? The good news is Wizz Air flies direct to Yerevan, which is only about three hours and thirty minutes away from Abu Dhabi.

Picturesque and with a rich history, Yerevan is one of the oldest cities in the world. Founded around 782BC, it’s worth a visit. You can learn about its ancient roots at the Erebuni Museum Archaeological Preserve.

If you want to see something quaint and take pictures for the gram, visit Kond District, which is cobble-stoned and has plenty of street art to keep you clicking.
