The US Travel Warning for Egypt has been downgraded since yesterday and now includes a new paragraph relating to Luxor and other areas as follows:

“The security situation in most tourist centers, including Luxor, Aswan, the Luxor-Aswan Nile cruise routes, and Red Sea/Southern and Western Sinai resorts such as Hurghada, Sharm el Sheikh, Dahhab, Nuweiba, and Taba has been calm; U.S. citizens should remain alert to local security developments.”

The previous travel alert had advised US citizens to avoid all but essential travel to Egypt.

Hi, I'm Mara, the founder of Mara House Hotel in Luxor. I believe time is precious, and great holidays are vital for our wellbeing. My first trip to Egypt, from Ireland, was an ordinary tour package; I knew nothing about the country and, while the trip was good, it wasn't the dream journey I offer today.

Over 20 years later, I'm best known for creating unforgettable experiences with transparent pricing, and I am extremely fortunate to be working with a great Egyptian team that shares my passion and commitment.

Whether it's booking your hotel in Cairo, organizing your Nile cruise, or planning your tailored itinerary, I myself will be handling every detail, ensuring your journey through Egypt is both personal and unforgettable.

Feel free to reach out via email if you'd like to explore how I can help plan your ideal holiday. Just an opportunity to see if we're a good fit! This is my email: maraegypt@gmail.com
