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.

Great country (Italy), great people and love the feel you get by just being you. Ingrid Aird did a great job with a pair of tours one private and one group. Organizing pickup from airport and flights. Hotel, Enterprise Hotel, after a bit of a rough start getting us into a proper room, was more than excellent.Thomas Helps

We were looking forward to a magical vacation in Greece, and Goway Travel delivered on all fronts. This is the second time that we have booked with them (the first being an incredible excursion in Thailand), and everything went along swimmingly. Only on one occasion did a tour go sideways, but our Goway specialist (Patrick) took care of it for us. When your tour involves many flights, numerous hotels, various tours, ferries, and transfers, it is nice to know that your travel specialist can handle it all. Goway (from Patrick to all the other staff involved) handled everything in such a professional manner. Thanks Goway for such an incredible experience in Greece. I look forward to another adventure in the near future!Jenny Friess

We recently returned from France - three cities in two weeks - and our trip was fantastic! Jacqueline helped us with a return to France with no worries and concerns. Drivers met us at every destination- hotels were superb and the individual tours memorable. This is a return vacation with Goway and we could not be more pleased. The customer service is top notch and all questions answered promptly. For us seniors, we appreciate all the thoughtfulness and consideration.ElizaGray

While researching suppliers for a clients Thailand honeymoon, I remembered being referred to GoWay by a longterm TA ….because they “get it right and get it done!” I had already started their training modules, so I put in a quote. Immediately, Taylor responded with a very thorough email and we decided to chat. I gave him my specifics and he again responded immediately and matched my client’s travel needs 100%. I found it comforting to speak with a country expert with the knowledge I needed. My clients booked their vacation and are very excited about their itinerary! Thank you Taylor for making this process seamless.Karla B

Our rep at GoWay, Kimberly, was fantastic from start to finish. She came up with the exact itinerary we wanted for Melbourne, Uluru, Cairns and Sydney, and assisted us with both international and domestic flights to help us get the best rates. Once we were on the trip, everything flowed seamlessly and every tour and transport was on time.Lisa Wildes

As a travel agent, this is not the first time I’ve chosen to work with Goway for organizing my clients’ trip, this time to Chile, and once again, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Throughout the entire process, I could count on truly professional service from Susanna. My clients are very experienced travelers and requested a highly customized itinerary, including many unique experiences that are not typically included in standard tour programs. There were also several occasions when, on behalf of my clients, I requested changes to an already prepared itinerary. Susanna was consistently helpful, patient, understanding, and — just as importantly — incredibly kind and pleasant to work with. It was clear that she genuinely cared about creating the best possible experience for my clients. I’m also certain that much of the work she put in went well beyond standard hours and expectations. My clients returned absolutely delighted with their vacation, which is always the greatest confirmation of a job well done. Thank you, Susanna, for your dedication and exceptional support. And thank you, Goway, for another wonderful experience!Beata
