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.

Be prepared for a modest society. Both men and women generally cover their shoulders and knees, and visitors should do the same out of respect.

Kimberly Brown from Goway Travel made my trip to Australia & New Zealand a very memorable and remarkable experience. Every step and detail was fantastic and I will never forget the trip of a lifetime and it was because of the experience of Kimberly. If you are thinking about taking a trip to New Zealand and Australia, I highly recommend contacting Kimberly from Goway travel. David Klein

We had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthy

Our trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best). Taryn picked hotels that were very convenient to the meeting point of our tours which was much appreciated and organized all aspects of our trip perfectly. So from our airport pickup to our last day in Tokyo everything ran very smoothly so we have used Goway before and will certainly use it again and reccommend Goway to others.JW

Mary was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was incredibly responsive and quick to assist with every update and change my clients made throughout the planning process. Her expertise was invaluable, from recommending the perfect resorts to advising on the best way to travel between the islands. My clients loved every moment of their trip, especially their resort stays and overwater bungalow experiences. As this was their honeymoon, creating a seamless and memorable journey was so important, and Mary exceeded expectations. They rated their experience a 5 out of 5 and could not have been happier. Thank you, Mary, for your outstanding support and attention to detail. I truly appreciated your partnership and would not hesitate to work with you again for future South Pacific Island bookings. I am from the TravelStore in Fresno.Jenn W
