About this tour

Experience the spiritual and cultural wonders of Armenia on this immersive 7-day journey. Explore the country’s ancient origins, its transformation into the world’s first Christian nation, and its rich architectural and artistic heritage.

Begin in Yerevan, one of the world’s oldest cities, visiting the Matenadaran Manuscript Museum, Republic Square, and the Cascade Complex. Journey to the sacred Khor Virap Monastery, with its breathtaking views of Mount Ararat, and discover the stunning Noravank Monastery nestled among red rock cliffs. Delve into Armenia’s deep Christian history at Etchmiadzin Cathedral, the heart of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and the Treasury Museum, home to relics like a piece of Noah’s Ark.

Explore the picturesque town of Dilijan, visit the medieval Haghartsin Monastery, and admire the beauty of Lake Sevan and Sevanavank Monastery. Discover the Geghard Monastery, a UNESCO-listed complex partially carved into the cliffs, and witness Armenia’s ancient pagan past at the Garni Temple, the only surviving Greco-Roman structure in the region.

With breathtaking landscapes, sacred monasteries, and deep cultural experiences, this tour offers a profound journey through Armenia’s faith, history, and traditions.
