Engage with Egypt’s Rich History

Embarking on one of the many custom vacation packages to Egypt takes you deep into the world’s most illustrious historical treasures. Pyramids rise majestically from the desert sands, echoing enigmatic tales from a bygone era. A journey to the Great Pyramid of Giza and the enigmatic Sphinx is a spellbinding experience, drawing you into the heart of Egyptian antiquity.

Cruise the Legendary Nile

No custom trip to Egypt is complete without witnessing the life-giving waters of the Nile River. A cruise along this fabled river not only offers a unique perspective of Egypt’s eternal cities but also unfolds the lush, rural landscapes that have thrived along its banks for millennia. These landscapes offer perfect opportunities for those looking for tranquility, cultural interaction, or adventures that connect you with the locals.

Modern Adventures Await

The vibrant streets of Cairo keep the past alive with bustling bazaars and aromatic aromas drifting through the city's air. Delve into the labyrinthine corridors of Khan El Khalili, an iconic souk where time seems to stand still amidst vibrant textiles, exquisite silverware, and the intoxicating scent of spices. Whether you are negotiating with friendly vendors or sipping mint tea in a traditional café, each moment here feels like a journey back in time.

Moreover, the burgeoning contemporary art scene in modern Cairo and Alexandria stands as a testament to Egypt’s evolving urban landscapes. With art galleries and public spaces brimming with creativity, these cities extend an invitation to engage with Egypt's present-day cultural pulse.

Culinary Explorations

Food lovers embarking on trips to Egypt can indulge in a feast of flavours that spans the centuries. Traditional dishes like koshari and molokhia provide hearty introductions to Egyptian cuisine, while street foods such as falafel and shawarma delight the senses with their rich tastes and textures. Culinary tours are increasingly popular additions to custom vacation packages, allowing gastronomes to savor Egypt’s culinary delights intimately.

Toward the Desert's Horizon

For those seeking adventure, the golden sands of the Sahara beckon with promises of thrilling expeditions. Explore the breathtaking beauty of the Black and White Deserts, where dramatic landscapes of volcanic formations and pristine sand dunes create striking contrasts against azure skies. Desert safaris offer exhilarating rides across dunes and quiet nights beneath stars that shine like diamonds in the clear night sky.

Thank you to Goway for a great and enjoyable 7 day tour in China, for our Canadian group of 14! Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYD

This was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce Robinson

We decided to go to France for 3 weeks in September and knew we needed help planning the trip (we made this decision in August so a very short time frame. We had traveled with Goway a few years ago and were hoping they could help. Our specialist, Farnaz Bagheri, was fantastic, she listened to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. She literally arranged everything with her French partners. The guides and drivers were wonderful the accommodations were excellent. Communication was easy from the first discussion to the time we got home. Farnaz planned for us an exceptional trip in a very short time frame. Promise next trip we will contact Goway much earlier. Thanks againSue Blake

As a travel advisor, I recently booked a group of clients on a Goway tour in China following their paddleboat competition, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Christine and Tanya in the groups department were incredibly helpful and made the entire process seamless. Their support was greatly appreciated! The feedback from my clients was overwhelmingly positive, with particular praise for the local tour guides, who helped make the trip so memorable. Everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you, Christine, Tanya, and the Goway team, for taking such great care of my clients. I would happily recommend Goway and look forward to working with them again!customer

I wanna start off by saying that Farnaz our agent was excellent!!! she planned the whole experience from start to finish. We did not have to worry about one thing the entire trip. All the hotels were great. Our transfers from hotels to fairies to airports were all available and always on time. The excursions she planned for us were all top-notch. I was a little skeptical, but just finding GOWAY online stumbling across it. But I’m so glad I made the choice to use them. I hope they definitely using the company again and especially our agent Farnaz!!! Thank you do mych for a wonderful experience! Catherine

Our goal for this trip was a stress free honeymoon where we did not have to think about anything! Goway made that successful. Everything was planned and ready for us. We just had to show up. Brooke recommended fantastic accommodations that were in great locations, clean and comfortable. The tours were took with Thompson's Africa were incredible as well. Brooke was helpful throughout the entire booking process & we wouldn't have had such an incredible experience without her. We really loved our South African holiday and hope to travel there or other locations again with Goway.Taylor
