Hi, I’m Mara—the heart behind Mara House Luxor.
Over 20 years ago, I came to Egypt on a standard tour. It was enjoyable—but it wasn’t the transformative journey I’d dreamed of. So I stayed, and over time, I created the kind of experience I longed for: one that reaches beyond the surface and touches the soul.
WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT? - I don’t just want you to see Egypt—I want you to feel it. Through the stories I share on my blog and in person, my intention is to help you imagine the people who once walked the temples, lived in the sacred spaces, and shaped this land. I work hard to give you stories rooted in truth—not the made-up versions so often passed off to tourists.
Together with my dedicated Egyptian team, I craft journeys that are honest, personal, and unforgettable. Whether it’s your first Nile cruise or a month-long stay at Mara House, I’m here to make sure your time in Egypt feels deeply real—and just a little bit magical.
