While I arrange a variety of tours for families, solo travelers, and private groups, there are some special groups that I just can’t resist joining myself! I love spending time with my guests, sharing in the adventure and looking at Egypt through new eyes. On these trips I also bring along my top Egyptologist guides to make sure every moment is rich, personal, enjoyable, and memorable.
These are the dates and links for the tours I have scheduled so far. I keep my groups small so early booking is advi

Something Different and Personal
Years ago I became totally interested in several historical series which you can find here https://marahouseluxor.com/resurrection-ertugrul-must-see-film-series/ Recently I decided I would like to take a trip to Turkey and visit Topkapi Palace and some other places in Istanbul that are in these tv series. But, I don’t want to go alone. I would love to go with a few other people who are interested in these sites – not just the usual turkey holiday program. So, I have worked out an itinerary with a Turkish Travel Agent through my own travel agent partner in Egypt. If you are interested in going with me please email me – I was going to go in March this year but I don’t think that is going to work out so I am happy to talk about other dates if enough people are interested in having the adventure with me. Email me maraegypt@gmail.com

* Ahmed, no request is too big, too small or too weird
* Ahmed, who is loved by all and is totally worthy of our adoration.
* Ahmed, we left more than just f.r.i.e.n.d.s.

* The ever knowledgeable, always endearing Egyptian gentleman.
* Mohamed who has so much wisdom and is never boring.
* Mohamed who stole the bride’s heart from the moment she met him, and stole the men’s hearts too.
* Mohamed who learnt that ‘stop jinning’ will get the ladies moving.
* Mohamed, the Redbull scout.
MARA – IRISH QUEEN OF EGYPT
* Mara has spent 19 years making Mara House Luxor what it is today.

* The off the beaten track experiences.
* Food glorious food. Amr @ Mara House is an amazing chef.
* Lots of tours but also so relaxing – Busy but lots of down time
This tour planned and arranged by Mara starts with the Giza Pyramids and camel ride but somehow each day after was better than the day before!
MARA HOUSE LUXOR, I can’t wait to go back and next time spend a week just at Mara House.
