Overview
Take a trip to Tel Aviv on your Israel Vacation
Located on the Israeli Mediterranean coastline in central-west Israel is Tel Aviv, the country’s second most populous city. With the UN and many international communities refusing to acknowledge Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Tel Aviv is home to most foreign embassies. It is an interesting city which should be included in an Israel vacation
Tel Aviv was established on the outskirts of Jaffa, an ancient port city, in 1909. Settled by a Jewish community, Jewish immigration into Tel Aviv began to increase. The rapid growth that accompanied immigration meant that Tel Aviv outpaced Jaffa and its Arab majority. It was in this city that David Ben Gurion declared the independence of the State of Israel in 1948. Two years later, Tel Aviv and Jaffa were united into one municipality.
As well as being an economic hub, Tel Aviv is Israel’s centre for culture and entertainment. Known as “the city that doesn’t stop”, the nightlife is second to none. In sharp contrast to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv is a very liberal city with a large LGBT community. The White City, near the city centre, was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the Bauhaus architectural style found there. The west side of Tel Aviv is the coastline with beaches that are popular with locals and tourists alike on Israeli trips.
Tel Aviv is a truly exciting city that is different from any other destination both in Israel and the Middle East to be enjoyed on Tel Aviv tours

Israeli New Shekel (ILS)What do the experts say?
You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.
What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.
Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.
I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.
The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.

Every single detail was smooth sailing. It was a joy to plan our travels with Goway!! We had an amazing trip of a lifetime!
E&DI 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.

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.
