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.

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.

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
