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.

Once again, Goway Travel has provided us with an amazing travel experience, and the customized itinerary prepared by Joanne Palanuik was second to none. She was the main reason that Australia is a "trip of a lifetime" for us. Her attention to detail and recognizing what would make this a special trip for us is noteworthy and much appreciated.Wally

I would recommend GoWay for travel anytime. I had a private tour of India built for me, after I was invited to my friend's wedding. I travelled around northern India with my driver for 10 days. I had a new guide most every day, for the trip, as we went from location to location. Absolutely everything was amazing!! I honestly can't say there was a negative moment in any of it. I felt 100% safe travelling alone with GoWay's experts. My lodgings were excellent and someone was always available for support, if need be. This was one of the best experiences of my life!!! Thank you so much GoWay!!Trudy Buelow

We had an amazing trip to Southeast Asia. We would like to thank Goway for organizing a memorable vacation. The tour guides were very personable, kind, respectful and knowledgeable about their countries. It was nice to be able to ask them questions and hear about their daily lives. They went above and beyond to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. We were so glad our tours were private as the guides were very flexible in accommodating us as I often could not fully participate after spending time in a hospital with food poisoning. We enjoyed our time in Singapore. The driver who drove us from and to the airport gave us a compressive overview of daily life in Singapore. It was fascinating to hear how home ownership, retirement and driving was so different there. The accommodations were excellent, the staff were all very kind and helpful. We have to particularly commend the staff at the Siesta Classic Ma May in Hanoi. Ann at reception was so kind to my husband when I was in the hospital asking him regularly how I was doing and arranging late checkout without being asked. And Suzie our Hanoi tour guide for rearranging a tour time for my husband then dropping him off at the hospital. She also managed to take me to see the Ho Chi Minh property on our way to the airport as I had missed so much of Hanoi. I would also like to thank Aurel Vion, the Goway representative from Paris, who personally called me while I was in the hospital to enquire how I was doing, cancel our Halong cruise and arrange an extra night in the hotel for my husband. It was much appreciated. Hoang was super flexible with our tours in Hue and Hoi An as I was still very weak having just gotten out of hospital. We really enjoyed our visit to the private pottery museum and meet the owner and our ride on the Perfume River in a private boat and our voyage through the mountain pass to Danang. Andy, the tour guide who picked us up from the Boutique Hoi A Resort helped us avoid the long lineups in the Danang airport, again very appreciated. Tuan our tour guide in Saigon was also very accommodating. We really enjoyed our days with him relaxing on our private sampan to Cai Be and our trip to Can Tho to visit the floating markets. He also took us to the War Remnants Museum on the way back to Saigon as we had missed our tour of the Cu Chi tunnels because our flight in Danang was delayed 4 hours. And poor Phil in Bangkok, he tried his best with the culinary tour. Unfortunately after the food poisoning we were being very cautious in what we ate. We did appreciate his tour of Chinatown and the great meal of Pad Thai. He also provided us with excellent directions so we could take the subway, skytrain and ferry by ourselves. We will never forget how we were able to experience and appreciate cultures much different than ours. We have only good things to say about Goway and certainly always recommend the company to all we know. We have already had an acquaintance of ours book a trip with the company. And lastly we must thank Katherine Samsonkinai for arranging another excellent vacation. We will certainly continue to recommend her and will be calling her again to organize our next big trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Egypt. We were a small group trip with only three people. The guides and transfers from Emeco were excellent.Always on time and very knowledgeable. Our transfer went smoothly due to these guides. They were very efficient and made sure we didn’t have to wait in lines too long. The Sun Goddess was a beautiful riverboat and all of our meals were excellent. One suggestion is to include tips . We were always trying to find the right amounts for tips. Also the times for most excursions were very early in the morning….5:30 or 6:00 and that was not on our itinerary. I understand the early times to avoid the crowds. All in all we were very pleased with GoWay and would use them again in the future. Thinking of South Africa Safari. Also would like to thank our agent Elise for answering all of my questions and concerns. We felt very safe in Egypt. Sue Scarborough

As a travel agent, it was very easy to work with Goway. They were very responsive, especially Osvaldo Gonzalez, even when the client wanted to make in-destination changes a day or two prior. My clients absolutely enjoyed everything about their trip to Costa Rica - they specifically mentioned that all the drivers and guides they had were excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to use Goway again for a custom trip to Costa Rica. Shawna Woods Roy

We, three couples, all enjoyed our time in Peru, despite the small amount of time we had, and the fact one person had injury while on the cruise prior to arriving in Lima. We did want to experience Machu Picchu without spending as many days as others usually do, since we had been traveling prior to that already. Kajal at Goway was able to tailor a well packed three-day private tour for our small group of six. Every detail, from the moment we got off the cruise ship, to Cusco, to Machu Picchu, and back to Lima airport hotel, was well taken care of. Kajal was very efficient in helping with the requested itinerary, and in staying on desired budget, as well answered all questions in timely fashion. We were able to accomplish what we were not sure if possible, all thanks to Kajal at Goway. Our experience in Peru was very positive. We felt the tours organized by Goway had enabled us to have great and impressive exposure to Peruvian culture and important historical sights - all 31 hours in 3 days!!! Condor Travel in Peru took care of us every step of the way. Every person we came across was very courteous, willing, and helpful. Help was always there and questions answered quickly via Whatsapp. All in all a great and positive experience we would highly recommend.KM

I want to personally thank my Travel Agent Alice Teramoto who organized two spectacular trips for me! One to Australia and most recently Vietnam and Cambodia. She nailed it! I can’t express my gratitude enough! Both trips were flawless and hassle free! Every experience exceeded my expectations! I spent my 60th Birthday in Vietnam on the Lunar New Year which was a complete thrill! I highly recommend Alice and will definitely book with her again soon! Thanks so much Alice ♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Avril

Mary G. was an absolute pleasure to work with. I partner with Goway often for Europe and typically have my go to rep, so stepping outside of that for a New Zealand itinerary had me a little unsure at first. That hesitation quickly disappeared. Mary stepped in with confidence, handled all of my moving pieces with ease, and truly understood the level of detail I needed to take care of my clients. She delivered a beautifully curated itinerary that exceeded expectations, and most importantly, my clients had an incredible experience in New Zealand. I’m so grateful to have her as a resource and look forward to working together again.Nichole Pierce
