December is the season for a proper break. Whether you want snow-dusted mountains, ancient wonders in mild winter sunshine or a two-country adventure, the right plan makes all the difference. The best flights and hotels sell out early, so many UAE families, couples and friend groups now choose Christmas holiday packages from UAE that bundle everything into one easy booking.
At Smart Travels, we have three festive getaways for 2026: Georgia, Egypt, and a combined Azerbaijan + Georgia trip. Here is what each offers, and what winter is like when you get there.
Christmas is one of the busiest travel periods of the year. Booking separately can mean juggling flights, hotels, transfers and tours, often at higher prices. A travel holidays package UAE travellers can rely on gives you:
One itinerary: flights, stay and experiences planned together
Less stress: one team to contact if plans change
Better value: bundled holiday packages from UAE often cost less than piecing each part together in peak season
Georgia is one of the most popular winter escapes for UAE travellers. Tbilisi’s old town comes alive in December with cafés, markets and warm Georgian food, from fresh khachapuri to hearty stews. Outside the capital, snowy landscapes and ski resorts such as Gudauri give you a real winter feel.
Winter in Georgia: Expect cold, crisp weather. Tbilisi is chilly, often around freezing at night, while the mountains see regular snowfall and a proper ski season that typically runs from December into early spring. It is a big change from UAE weather, which is exactly the appeal.
What to expect:
Walks through Tbilisi’s old streets and sulphur bath district
Snowy mountain day trips and winter activities
Georgian cuisine and local wine culture
Best for: families, couples and first-time snow seekers.
Prefer sunshine to snow? Egypt is a great Christmas choice. Winter is the best time to explore the Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum and the busy streets of Cairo. Depending on your itinerary, you can also add a Nile cruise or time by the Red Sea.
Winter in Egypt: December is one of the most comfortable months to visit. Days are generally mild and pleasant for sightseeing, while evenings and early mornings can turn cool, so a light jacket helps. Southern cities like Luxor and Aswan are warmer than Cairo. The sea can be on the cool side for swimming, but sunny beach days are still very possible.
What to expect:
Iconic history, from the pyramids to temples and museums
Comfortable weather for long days outdoors
A choice of culture-focused or relaxed beach-style trips
Best for: families, multigenerational groups and history lovers.
Can’t decide between destinations? This combined package lets you enjoy both. In Azerbaijan, Baku blends a historic walled old city with striking modern architecture, including the Flame Towers, plus seaside promenades and local cuisine. You then continue to Georgia for mountain views, old-town charm and a cosy winter atmosphere.
Winter in Azerbaijan: Baku in December is cool, often windy and sometimes damp, though usually milder than the mountain regions. Snow is more likely in the higher areas, where winter resorts such as Shahdag operate. Then, in Georgia, the temperature drops further, so you experience two different kinds of winter in one holiday.
What to expect:
Baku’s skyline, old city and Caspian waterfront
A change of scenery and climate as you move on to Georgia
Two cultures in a single festive break
Best for: couples, friends and travellers who want more variety and have extra days to spare.
If you are travelling from UAE weather, pack for the cold:
Georgia and Azerbaijan: a warm coat, thermal layers, gloves, a hat, scarf and waterproof boots
Egypt: light layers, a jacket for the evenings, comfortable walking shoes and sun protection
All trips: a power adapter, any regular medication and copies of your travel documents
Snow or sun? Georgia and Azerbaijan suit a winter feel, while Egypt offers mild, sunny days.
How many days do you have? A single-country trip suits a shorter break, while Azerbaijan + Georgia works better with more time.
Who is travelling? Kids, parents and honeymooners each enjoy different things.
What is your budget? Check what is included: flights, hotels, transfers, tours and meals.
Are your documents ready? Passport validity and visa rules depend on your nationality, so confirm requirements early.
Christmas dates fill up quickly. Booking early gives you a wider choice of hotels, better flight timings and enough time to sort out your visa.
Whether you picture a snowy evening in Georgia, a sunny day at the pyramids or a two-country adventure through Baku and Tbilisi, our Christmas holiday packages from UAE make planning simple and the trip memorable.
