This specialized approach helps us truly understand what schools need and create trips that support both curriculum goals and practical requirements.

Our activity-based offerings include environmental studies, adventure learning, ski programs, and marine biology expeditions. Our Dubai office reflects our dedication to delivering safe, inspiring journeys that complement academic learning while nurturing personal growth and sparking curiosity in students throughout the region.
Ms Ghada Dajani
Managing Director Modern English School (MES) Gulf English School (GES)‘Go To Know’ has often been our organisation of choice when planning trips for our students both at MES Cairo and GES Cairo. These include day trips, overnight trips and even trips abroad. Their care for the minutest detail and careful planning have always proven to be as meticulous as they are comfortingly welcome. They are without a doubt, a company that chooses to care about their clients, not just provide them with an exceptional service. On a more personal note: I reached out to Mr. Yahia a few months ago with a suggestion to work with me in providing a day trip for the students of the NGO ‘Tawasol’ (www.tawasolegypt.org)  to Ein El Sukhna. These children live and work in one of the most challenging environments in Cairo. They endearingly expressed that their ultimate dream was to spend a day at the beach. The speed and graciousness with which he said “Of course’! was heartwarming. ‘Go To Know’ provided the buses, planned the day including the activities on the beach and meals for both the children and the adult supervisors. They selflessly and generously created life-long memories for those who would otherwise never have the opportunity to experience such joy. I recommend ‘Go To Know’ wholeheartedly and unreservedly for exceptional and personable, caring service.
Community Service Fundraising IdeasÂ
Transform your classroom into a creative powerhouse as students gear up for their next service adventure! The most successful fundraisers do more than raise money—they unite people around a shared purpose. Consider launching a student-run mini business where they design and sell branded t-shirts, tote bags, or water bottles. It’s fundraising that doubles as awareness-building and celebrates school spirit. Want something simpler? A themed bake sale or weekly snack stand—especially when students do the baking—can become an instant hit. Think beyond selling too. Talent shows, battle of the bands, or read-a-thons where students gather pledges turn fundraising into celebration, showcasing what makes your students special. The secret? Match activities to your students’ passions. When fundraising feels fun and hands-on, it naturally builds teamwork, confidence, and community—while teaching valuable real-world skills along the way.

Tips and Tricks
Essential Preparations for Teachers Organizing a School Trip Abroad
Planning an international school trip is exciting—but thoughtful preparation makes all the difference. Start early: remind students about passport renewals and visa applications. Collect parental consent forms and organize essential documents—insurance, emergency contacts, medical information—in one accessible folder. Confirm flights, transport, and accommodations well ahead. Check destination health requirements and vaccination needs, pack a first-aid kit, and note nearby medical facilities. Collaborate with chaperones on clear emergency protocols—what happens if someone gets lost or needs help. Establish meeting points and define everyone’s responsibilities. Arrange reliable communication through roaming plans or local SIMs for all staff. Hold a pre-trip orientation covering cultural expectations, behavior guidelines, curfews, and spending limits—building excitement while setting clear boundaries. When logistics are handled smoothly, you can focus on what truly matters: those unforgettable educational moments that create lasting memories and life-changing lessons for your students.
