I’ve finally gathered reviews and comments about Mara House and our Salahadeen Restaurant here on my own website. There aren’t many for Salahadeen, as it’s been open only to Mara House guests for years and TripAdvisor has since removed those reviews. These come from TripAdvisor, Google Maps, guest blogs, letters, and other kind words shared over time. Some are missing, as I hadn’t realized TripAdvisor began deleting reviews from tour guests who did their tours with us but who didn’t stay at Mara House. I hope these words give you a true sense of who we are and what Mara House is all about. Enjoy, Mara
to Egypt looking for a new life. What she and her family and staff have created is a home fit and
outfitted for a sheik! She has used Egyptian aesthetic, furnishings and feel to make an amazing place to
stay while in Luxor.
She offers full packages on her website including meals, event tickets and a tour
guide. If you find her online, her suggestions on what to pack, dealing with the heat, etc you will find a
treasure trove.
The rooms are suites. I stayed in #2 which is a queensized bed with a sitting are plus a real sitting area with
a mini-bar, sink and counter. Everything is made, done and completed with commitment to making the
guest feel comfortable and welcome.
The staff, headed by Amr, his wife and three year old son, is superb. He is the host and chef and is
miraculous. His meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner are wonderful and served with grace.
Mohamed is the house guide. He is knowledgeable, speaks excellent English and shows you everything
at the antiquity sites, will take you down the Nile if you choose that package (I’m sitting on the boat
waiting to start the journey from Luxor to Aswan), and does not try to take you shopping.
Mara House uses three different drivers who will take you safely from place to place.
I give this house not a five star rating, but twelve.
Jean, USA traveled solo June 2019. This review was submitted to TripAdvisor but has not appeared there. 3 night Luxor Holidays plus 4 nights Nile Cruise with Mara House.
