📍 On the ground
Getting around: From Tbilisi: direct bus ~1 hour (6–8 GEL). The only international airport is Tbilisi. Within Gori: small center, walkable. The museum and landmark area is close to the station.
Halal & prayer places: Very limited — Gori is a small, simple town with no real religious infrastructure. Rely on Tbilisi restaurants or ask locals about Muslim-friendly spots.
