Why Beirut and Gabala?
Beirut, the vibrant capital of Lebanon, is a dynamic blend of ancient history, rich culture, and modern energy. Known for its UNESCO World Heritage Sites, lively souks, Mediterranean views, and buzzing nightlife, Beirut is a top destination for both business and leisure travelers. Visitors can explore must-see spots like the Pigeon Rocks, National Museum, and the historic Downtown district. Day trips to Lebanon’s charming villages and breathtaking mountains are also popular.
Gabala, located in the serene Caucasus mountains of Azerbaijan, offers year-round adventure, nature, and relaxation. Popular activities include skiing in winter, quad biking, paragliding, and hiking during the warmer months. Gabala is also rich in history, with sites like Chukhur Gabala shedding light on the region’s ancient past.
Expanding Wizz Air Abu Dhabi’s Network
These new routes are part of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi’s continued efforts to offer affordable travel across the region, with destinations such as Baku, Almaty, Amman, and Sarajevo already available.
With this expansion, Wizz Air Abu Dhabi strengthens its position as an ultra-low-cost carrier, providing more ways for passengers to connect to the Middle East and beyond at affordable prices.
