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.

Everything was expertly planned, from the drivers to the hotels to the tours to the flights. We particularly enjoyed Hobart and the animal sanctuary, Adelaide and the trip to Kangaroo Island, Melbourne and the evening tour with dinner and drinks, and Sydney with the private boat cruise of the Harbour. We will definitely use Goway again.SARA Wiebe

There were 4 travelers on this trip. All of us were in our late 70's. We started planning this trip 6 months prior to our travel date and had a lot of questions regarding this trip. Our Goway Travel Specialist, Karen Larrota, always answered our questions in a timely and complete manner. We traveled to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos, The Sacred Valley in Peru, Machu Picchu, and Cusco in Peru. Not only were the destinations and accommodations excellent, but every tour guide and driver were beyond excellent. The entire trip went smoothly every step of the way, which was amazing given the fact that there were numerous flights and hotels included in our package. We found out that the tour company that Goway used, Condor Travel, checked on us with our guide to make sure we were doing OK which we thought was very nice but also amusing as we are fairly fit older adults. Would also like to mention that we did a cruise thru the Galapagos on the Galapagos Legend which was arranged thru Go Galapagos - Kleintouurs. This portion of our tour was also excellent as were the wildlife guides and staff. We continue to discuss how wonderful this trip was with our family and friends and how wonderful this experience was. Would definately use Goway for our travel needs in the future.Dianne

After spending some time with our agent, we felt that she understood exactly what we had in mind as far as the level of service, etc, we were hoping for. The trip exceeded our expectations. Lori kept us busy(not too busy!) and we had many, many very exciting experiences. Bruce Belshaw

Aylin is an exceptionally proficient advisor. Coordinating my clients simultaneously often feels like herding cats, but she has remained patient and accommodating through every modification and delay. Goway continues to be my go-to for complex itineraries, and they never disappoint.Nick Cron, ACC

My daughter and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in New Zealand! The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly. Our destination specialist did a great job with planning and organizing the itinerary, choosing our hotels, and organizing transportation. The hotels were absolutely beautiful and we had great views. We felt right at home and found all of the staff to be friendly and accommodating. There were no issues with our itinerary and our excursions we were always on the list. Our transportation was always ready and waiting for us. We want to thank Goway Travel for their hard work and patience with us in planning this trip. Any changes that needed to be made were communicated timely. We also want to thank you for the beautiful weather during the entire 2 weeks it was perfect every day 😀. It was a memorable trip that we will never forget and we will think of Goway when we plan our next adventure. Because it was not just a vacation; it was an adventure!Connie Wenhardt

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker

My clients had a wonderful time on their trip to Easter Island. They were very pleased with the Hare Nua Hotel Boutique and especially noted the warmth and hospitality of the hotel staff as well as their excellent breakfasts. Jaime Vargas-Hendandez was an exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable agent, who went out of his way to ensure that my clients had the best possible experience. I will definitely contact him for future bookings and will recommend him to my colleagues.Alethea Kardas
