What Awaits You

Blue Mosque: Persian Oasis in Yerevan
Experience tranquility at the Blue Mosque, built in the 18th century – one of the few remaining testaments to rich Iranian history in the region. Admire the elegant architecture and magnificent turquoise tiles adorning the minaret and façade. The mosque, which is functional today, is a living symbol of cultural dialogue and Armenian-Persian friendship. Its quiet, flower-filled courtyard offers a sanctuary from the city noise. Include the mosque in your tour to witness how Islamic culture peacefully coexists in Yerevan.

Russian Orthodox Church: Spiritual Bridge
Visit the Russian Orthodox Church, an important spiritual center for the Russian community in Armenia. This temple is a visible embodiment of centuries-old friendship and historical ties between Armenia and Russia. You will observe the classical Orthodox style, which differs from Armenian architecture, and appreciate the beauty of traditional icons. This is a key point in our tour, demonstrating Yerevan’s religious pluralism. Plan a stop here to see the peaceful coexistence of traditions and cultures.

Holy Etchmiadzin Mother Cathedral: Armenian Vatican
Make a pilgrimage to the Holy Etchmiadzin Mother Cathedral — the world’s first state-built Christian church, erected in 303 AD. Etchmiadzin is the spiritual center of the Armenian Apostolic Church, where you can feel the power of two millennia of Christian history. You will see its unique architecture and, if desired, priceless relics in the Treasury. This is the heart of the Armenian faith. Book this tour to personally touch the cradle of world Christianity.

Yezidi Temple “Kuba Mere Diwane” : the largest temple in the world
Explore the majestic Yezidi Temple “Kuba Mere Diwane” — the largest Yezidi temple in the world, located in Aknalich village. This impressive structure, opened in 2019, is dedicated to the seven Angels and the Sun. The temple serves as a powerful symbol of tolerance for the Yezidi people, who have peacefully resided in Armenia for centuries. This is a unique opportunity to learn about an ancient and lesser-known religion as part of your tour.
