Embarking on a journey to Saudi Arabia unveils a tapestry of the ancient and the modern, where historic landmarks stand proudly alongside cutting-edge architecture. A destination emerging on travellers' radars, Saudi Arabia offers a mystique rooted in its rich culture, sweeping landscapes, and hospitable traditions. As curiosity about this desert jewel grows, so does the appeal of exploring it through personalized travel packages.

Discover the Cultural Richness

Saudi Arabia is a nation steeped in history, and its cultural landmarks offer windows into the past. The ancient nabatean city of Al-Ula, with its timeworn stone structures and striking desert backdrop, captivates anyone with an interest in archaeology and history. In contrast, the bustling streets of Riyadh and Jeddah serve as vibrant hubs of contemporary Saudi culture, equally renowned for their bustling souks and state-of-the-art art galleries. Opting for custom vacation packages to Saudi Arabia ensures these diverse experiences can be tailored to your taste, be it through guided city excursions or tranquil moments under starry skies in the vast desert.

Embrace the Stunning Landscapes

Saudi Arabia offers an array of natural wonders that are sure to inspire and awe. From the towering dunes of the Rub' al Khali, or the 'Empty Quarter,' which invite adventurous souls for dune bashing, to the serene boating opportunities along the country's Red Sea coastline, the landscapes are as varied as they are breathtaking. Tailor-made journeys, creating the perfect personalized travel packages Saudi Arabia can incorporate both adrenaline-pumping adventures and moments of serene solitude, showcasing the diversity of this land.

Culinary Adventures Await

Food is the heart of cultural expression, and Saudi Arabian cuisine offers a delectable adventure of its own. Sample traditional dishes like Kabsa, a fragrant rice dish spiced with cloves and cardamom, or enjoy the sweet delight of dates—integral to Saudi hospitality. Whether dining in a bustling market or at a high-end restaurant, communal style eating fosters a deep connection with the essence of the place. Choosing custom vacation packages gives food enthusiasts the chance to delve deeply into regional culinary traditions, making memories one meal at a time.

Immerse in Unique Experiences

Take your travel to the next level by experiencing the cultural and historical festivals celebrated with fervor across the kingdom. Witness the breathtaking Janadriyah Cultural Festival, where traditional dances, poetry, and crafts are celebrated, offering a glimpse into the nation’s age-old traditions. If you prefer something more relaxed, consider a sojourn in the Asir Mountains for an immersive stay with the flower men, who are known for their vibrant floral headwear. These experiences, best enjoyed through trips to Saudi Arabia that are tailored to your interests, offer rare insights into the heart of this enigmatic country.

Practical Travel Hints

  • Entry Requirements: Ensure your visa is arranged in advance, as Saudi Arabia offers several types tailored to individual travel aims.
  • Climate Awareness: Pack for the desert climate—light layers for daytime heat and warmer clothing for cooler evenings.
  • Cultural Sensitivity: Dress modestly and respect local customs, particularly when visiting religious sites.
  • Language Tip: While English is spoken in many areas, learning a few Arabic phrases will go a long way in enhancing interactions.

As Saudi Arabia opens its doors wider to the world, the allure of exploring it through custom-crafted journeys grows stronger. Whether drawn by the allure of its historical mysteries, the call of the desert, or the depths of cultural immersion, a trip to this fascinating region promises experiences like no other. So, as you plan your next adventure, consider the charm of the desert kingdom and let each moment be as unique as sand dunes sculpted by the winds of change.

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.

I was looking at a month holiday in New Zealand and Australia and Natasa Jaric who is located in the Toronto area helped to make it happened by combining 2 already designed holidays in Oceania. From the beginning to the end, Natasa was "hands on" by explaining and providing everything I needed for our trip. During our trip, there were few bumps on the road that had nothing to do with Goway Travel as it was the airline company that cancelled our scheduled flight and created chaos. And the other problems (they were light) was because of the way hotels described their rooms. It should definitely be better worded! Db to me means double bed ... what does it mean to you? ;-) Anyhow, we ended up having two beds but with some arguments at one hotel only. The others accommodated us at no extra cost. I should also add that NZ and Aus. know how to treat tourists. I was particularly impressed with the transfers services offered by different companies both in NZ and Aus. Wow! No waiting at the airports, hotels or terminals. They were there ready to pick us up and drive us where ever we needed to be! Well done!!! It's the kind of service that I will have a hard time not to use again as it comes with a $ sign but definitely worth spending it! :-). I received a very good response from the "Help office" when the flight was cancelled and other inquiries I had made. Very good service once again. I live quite a few experiences during that month and all thanks need to go to Natasa and her team. So Natasa: Thank you very very much for a very well organized travel! Carole Ouellet

This was my first time planning a tour wth Goway Travel. I am truly delighted with the professionalism and personal relationship I had with the Goway Travel consultant Christine. She gave attention to every details I requested to curate my tour to Hong Kong and Bali. She addressed all my needs, answered thoroughly my questions and concerns. She is a touch of class in every respect. I will definitely recommend Goway Travel group. Excellent Hotels. Perfect guides in both countries. LE Asia Tour

Ingrid did a phenomenal job creating a 22 day trip beginning in with 3 days in Turkey, that included a Turkish Bath and a private tour of the mosques, we then took a 10 day cruise through the Mediterranean, Greece, Croatia, plus a couple of other stops. We got off the cruise in Ravenna Italy our transportation was spot on picking us up (I would have to stay all of our transportation was impressive, always there, on time, very helpful) we traveled from Ravenna to Venice where we stayed for two nights. Venice is the only place we had a hiccup, we weren't sure if someone was meeting us at our Hotel to take us to the water taxi to get to the train station, we figured it out, made the train and all was good. Traveled to Florence, had the best time there with one of our most favorite excusions, stayed in Florence for two nights and then completed our trip with three nights in Rome. Rome is BUSY, I was not prepared for that but should of expected it. This is our second big trip planning through Goway Travel, I can not recommend enough, they are so detailed and take care of everything you need and everything you didn't know you needed.

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
