The map
Every destination, hidden gem and place XTOUR has verified sits on one interactive map — the fastest way to see what’s near what, and to find something worth the detour.
Destinations
Every destination guide is built the same way: what to do, what to eat, where to stay, what it costs and what to know before you arrive.

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates; the UAE government portal names the city of Abu Dhabi as one of the emirate's three main regions, with Al Ain in the east and Al Dhafrah in the west, and as home to most ministries and foreign embassies. XTOUR maps places inside the city such as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Qasr Al Hosn and the Saadiyat Island museums, and treats Al Ain and Al Wathba Wetland Reserve as outside it.

Armenia combines early Christian monasteries, high volcanic landscapes and a dense cafe culture in Yerevan, in a country small enough to cross in a day's drive. It suits travellers who want depth rather than distance: one of the world's oldest winemaking regions, serious food traditions, and mountain roads that reward slow travel.

Guides & stories
Featured guide
Yerevan
Georgia and Armenia get compared constantly and chosen badly, usually on the assumption that they are near-identical neighbours. They are not. The clearest differences are in how a trip is actually shaped — where you sleep, how often you move — and in what each country has most of. This guide sets out the ones XTOUR can support with published records, and declines the ones it cannot.
Mtskheta
Georgia has kept a great deal of medieval religious architecture, and the surviving churches and monasteries are not interchangeable. This guide explains how the major sites differ — cathedral, monastery, cave complex — what UNESCO has and has not inscribed, where they cluster, and how to pick the handful that suit the trip you are actually taking.
Kutaisi
Georgia is small on a map and slow on the ground, and the usual mistake is booking a week and planning three weeks of sightseeing. This guide works from the stay XTOUR recommends for each base — a minimum, and what the extra days buy — so you can decide how long you need by choosing bases rather than by counting sights.
Telavi
Georgia has one of the world's oldest documented winemaking traditions, hundreds of indigenous grape varieties and a wine vocabulary that can be confusing even for experienced drinkers. This guide explains what Georgian wines to try, how qvevri wine differs from conventional wine, the major regions and grapes, famous names such as Saperavi, Kindzmarauli and Khvanchkara, and how to buy and taste wine intelligently while traveling in Georgia.
How XTOUR is written
Every destination covers the same ground — things to do, food, costs, transport, neighborhoods, weather, safety and accessibility — so you can compare places on the same terms.
Typical prices, journey times, seasonal conditions and the mistakes visitors actually make, rather than adjectives about how magical somewhere is.
Guides carry the date their information was last verified, and cite the sources behind the details that are easiest to get wrong.
