As Blighty describes, use the move tool. A few hints with screenshots
All sorts of ways to get your required result. This is one way.
1. Individual photographs can be cropped (1) to size if required. This might make the assembled image easier to manipulate.
2. Make a new blank canvas large enough to accommodate the assembled images. I would advise one of the presets (2) and set to either portrait or landscape as required.

3. You can copy/paste and move floating layers / anchor. Newcomers to Gimp tend to be baffled by this. An easy way, needs a little practice is drag the coin tab into the background tab and onward into the now active image. (4) You can do the same with image layers, drag from one to another, just experiment.
4. These can now be moved around using the move tool (5) If you have problems then use the move active layer toggle in the tools dialogue.

5. When in position, always a good idea to preserve the intermediate stages. Use Layer -> New from Visible (6) rather than merging layers. Save your work as a Gimp .xcf and all layers are retained.
6. Then you can work on that layer, crop to size etc and if required give it a new background (but that is a whole topic on its own)
