As the year winds down and the festive season begins to shine a little brighter, December has a way of making us crave something different — colder winds, brighter lights, or simply a horizon that isn’t the same one we’ve stared at all year. And the best part? Some of the season’s most dreamy destinations are closer to Kuwait than most people think. We take a closer look at some of this season’s favourite destinations — each offering its own kind of holiday magic. The best getaways are the ones that don’t feel complicated. Jazeera Airways connects Kuwait to these winter-worthy destinations with short & direct flights, easy fares, and schedules made for spontaneous escapes.
Georgia
- Winter That Feels Like a Hug
- 2.5 hrs away
Picture snow settling on wooden rooftops, warm cheese bread in a café window, and mountains that look like they’ve been dusted with sugar. That’s Georgia in December — peaceful, scenic, and effortlessly charming.
It’s not just a winter holiday; it’s a winter feeling. And you get there in less than the time it takes to watch two movies.
Armenia
- Where Winter Glows From the Inside Out
- 2.5 hrs away
Yerevan doesn’t try to impress — it just does. Christmas markets pop up with handmade crafts, the smell of cinnamon drifts through the air, and locals gather in squares glowing softly under winter lights.
It’s intimate, warm-hearted, and comforting in a way that stays with you long after you return home.
Russia
- Choose Your Winter Mood
- 3-5 hrs away
Want a city that sparkles like a snow globe? Moscow is all energy, lights, and charm — the kind of place that feels alive even when it’s below zero.
Or maybe you want calm. Sochi offers soft snow, mountains that quiet your thoughts, and resorts where time slows down just enough for you to breathe again.
UAE
- Where the Season Shines
- 1.5 hrs away
The UAE doesn’t just celebrate the holidays — it stages them. In Dubai, the skyline glitters a little louder, the malls turn festive, and the New Year’s countdown feels like a city-wide performance. Abu Dhabi brings its own style: calm sophistication, cultural landmarks, and beautifully lit evenings along the Corniche.
And then there’s Al Ain, the UAE’s quiet winter treasure. With its cool mountain air and gardens wrapped in greenery, it offers a slower, softer December — the perfect reset before the new year begins.
Sri Lanka
- Trade Your Coat for Coconut Trees
- 5 hrs away
If your idea of a holiday looks more like sunlight than snowfall, Sri Lanka feels like a gift. Think warm breezes, beaches that stretch into the distance, coastal cafés, and sunsets that unspool slowly across the sky. It’s the kind of place where you don’t check the time.
