Armenia, reached via Yerevan, is a low-cost, high-altitude break from the UAE with a real four-season climate. Here is how to time it.
Late spring and early autumn (May to June, September to October): the best times
Mild, comfortable weather and green or golden landscapes make these the ideal windows for Yerevan and the countryside. Early autumn also brings the grape harvest and wine season, a highlight for food and wine travellers.
Summer (July to August)
Hot and dry in Yerevan, though the higher mountains and Lake Sevan stay cooler, making it a viable heat escape if you head for altitude. A busier period.
Winter (November to March)
Cold, with snow in the highlands and some small ski areas. Quiet and cheap, atmospheric for a crisp city break.
