Unravelling History at the Pyramids of Giza

Your journey into the world of the pharaohs begins with the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza. Imagine the delight in your children's eyes as they face these ancient giants, a palpable connection to a time long past. Engage a local guide to enrich your trip with tales of burial rituals and the architectural genius of ancient Egyptians. A camel ride around these colossal structures is a family favourite, providing a unique perspective and a touch of adventure.

The Vibrant Heart of Cairo

No family vacation to Egypt is complete without exploring Cairo, an energetic city humming with life. Wander through the bustling Khan el-Khalili Bazaar where the aromas of exotic spices whisper stories of traders from bygone eras. Make sure to treat your family to a traditional Egyptian meal at a local eatery, enhanced by the warm hospitality and authentic flavours—such as kushari, a hearty dish beloved by locals.

An Immersive Dive into Egyptian Culture and Art

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo welcomes families into the world of Tutankhamun and other storied figures. The museum's extensive collection of artefacts will inspire young imaginations, providing tangible links to the fascinating narratives of ancient Egypt. Meanwhile, your family can engage in interactive workshops that let everyone try their hand at traditional crafts, bringing history to life in a fun and educational way.

Sailing the Serene Nile River

Embark on a felucca, a traditional sailing boat, for a unique glimpse of Egypt's landscape along the Nile. This peaceful journey offers a gentle escape from the city's hustle and bustle and is an unforgettable family bonding experience. Along the way, make stops to explore villages where timeless traditions are still very much alive, offering your family a firsthand view into local life.

Adventures in Luxor and Aswan

Emailing Luxor and Aswan as part of your trip to Egypt introduces your family to the grand legacy of the New Kingdom. Wander through the expansive Temple of Karnak, imagining the vibrant ceremonies that once took place in its shadowy halls. In Aswan, marvel at the majestic beauty of the temples of Abu Simbel, where history is etched into every stone. For a truly magical experience, catch the light and sound show that breathes life into these historical sites under the night sky.

Relaxation and Exploration on the Red Sea Coast

For families who enjoy a mix of relaxation and adventure, Egypt's Red Sea coast is unparalleled. The serene beaches of Sharm El-Sheikh provide a perfect backdrop for unwinding, while the crystal-clear waters are a playground for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts eager to discover vibrant coral reefs and marine life. There's a treasure trove of fun waiting beneath the waves, perfect for children and adults alike.

The destination specialist I've worked with (Kim Rawlings) has provided exceptional service. She is very knowledgeable of her region and everything they have to offer. She is very prompt in her communication and follow-up. She listens and is very attentive to my client's needs and wants. Kim's personality makes one feel like they've known each other for years. If GoWay had a customer service model, Kim is it.T. Jackson, Tribe Trek Travel

I just returned from escorting 34 people to China with four stops. We had hotels, local guides and extensive daily sightseeing. We had flights and we had high speed rail. There were numerous components that could have gone wrong but did not. I would like to highly recommend local guide Yoyo in Shanghai as well as Kevin in Xian. Two of the best guides I have ever had anywhere in the world. Suzette Castro and her team at the Goway Group Department did an excellent job helping me put this together. I was demanding, they were totally cooperative. It went well. I will be back. Amy Fink, CTC at Blue Ribbon Travel ArrangementsAmy in San Bruno, CA
