We build travel sites that each give a single destination the depth it deserves. The boats, the camps, the guides and the real prices, answered by people who know the ground.
Four destinations, six sites, one way of working. Go deep on a place, write it down honestly, and be there on WhatsApp when someone is ready to go.

Dahabieh
The Nile under sail. A small, chosen fleet of dahabiyas for travellers who want the river slow and quiet.
dahabieh.comWe started on the Nile.
The Going Places Group began in Egypt in 2012, arranging trips on the river and across the country. Everything we build since grows from what we learned there.
Travellers want one place that knows a destination properly: which boat suits them, what a week really costs, when to go, and who to trust on the ground. So we build one site per destination and go as deep as we can, cataloguing what is actually available and writing about it plainly.
Every site ends the same way. When a traveller is ready, a real person answers on WhatsApp, in their language, with a real quote.
