The Great Silk Road has seen the exchange of not only goods but also cultures and ideas between mighty empires. Caravans brought their miraculous fabric from China to the Roman Empire and returned laden with goods from the Mediterranean and Europe. In between, Central Asia's legendary cities like Samarkand, Bukhara and Merv became the clearing houses, keeping trade flowing in both directions.

Sitting unassumingly alongside the Silk Road, Georgia and Armenia offer outstanding historical and cultural heritage set against the dramatic terrain of the Caucasus range. Armenia, the first Christian nation in the world, features UNESCO World Heritage Monasteries against the backdrop of majestic Mt. Ararat, believed to be the resting place of Noah’s Ark. Many consider Georgia to be the most beautiful country on earth with stunning landscape of snow-capped Caucasus Mountains, rugged Black Sea Coasts and hidden valleys enhanced by isolated castles, churches and watchtowers.
