PEOPLE · TRAVEL · KUWAIT & UAE
MF Wonders
Maryam from Kuwait. Fatima from the UAE. Two women from two countries who met on a group trip in 2015 and travelled alone together to Kyrgyzstan in 2017. That trip changed everything. They have since travelled to over eighty-five countries across six continents, and built a company organising women-only group trips to the kinds of destinations most lists miss.
HOW IT BEGAN
Kyrgyzstan, 2017. The trip that changed everything.
They had met in a group two years earlier. In 2017, Maryam and Fatima decided to travel alone, just the two of them, to Kyrgyzstan. The country and the trip reshaped how they thought about travel and about each other.
It was the start of the partnership.
THE NUMBERS
Eighty-five countries. Six continents.
They look for the destinations most travel feeds skip. The route is led by curiosity, not by lists. South America is a particular obsession, the continent they share a soft spot for.
When you measure travel in years rather than weekends, you stop performing the picture and start collecting the place.
THE COMPANY
MF Wonders.
The company organises women-only group trips to unique destinations, with six successful trips delivered so far. The proposition is simple: take women who want to see the world to the places they would not otherwise reach, and build the logistics, the safety, and the company around them.
For Gulf travellers, women in particular, the model addresses something real. The freedom to travel widely without compromising what makes travel safe, social, and well-planned.
FROM THE ROAD
Eighty-five countries. Six continents.
FOR BOUJEEZ
A Gulf travel brand built on friendship, not on a pitch deck.
What makes MF Wonders interesting to Boujeez is the order of operations. The friendship came first, then the travel, then the company. They are not lifestyle influencers who decided to start a trips business. They are travellers who decided to take other women with them. The Gulf is currently producing some of the most ambitious women travellers in the world, and the businesses they are quietly building around that lifestyle are reshaping what regional travel looks like. Maryam and Fatima are part of that shift, and a clear example of why it matters.
