Merit Amon House – A Soulful Stay by the Desert

"In Luxor, you don’t just check into a house — you walk into someone’s life." I opened my home to offer travelers the chance to experience the real life by the Nile in Luxor—to step into the daily rhythm of Egyptian life and feel the traces of history left in this land. I’m happy to share local tips, hidden temples, family-run food spots, or just have a quiet tea in the garden. This is a place to rest, breathe, and feel a little closer to Egypt’s heart.
