Guest Book

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

My wife and I visited Egypt for 2 wks in March 2012. I would return in a heartbeat. We North Americans always ask, "Is it safe?" My goodness, all you see is waves & smiles! Yes, the people are on very bad times now from lack of tourists so NOW is the time to visit this wonderful country and have it practically to yourself when you visit sights. Plus, your dollar goes a l-o-n-g way in Egypt.

We had the good fortune to stay 3 nights at Mara House in Egypt. Our host was Amr, a wonderful spirit who couldn't do enough for us. He took us shopping at the souk, arranged cabs, recommended restaurants. Ask him to bring a hibiscus tea to the rooftop garden so you can hear the street sounds below....that was a nice evening.

Our Room 2 was very spacious with several sitting areas, good furnishings, a comfy bed, a strong shower, and a stocked fridge (including wine). Excellent.

I'd brought hair braids & coloured pens for the kids we'd meet along the way. What a hit for them...yet it's such a small easy thing for us to do. Make a personal connection, one person to another, when the world is so desperate for a good healing.



If you're looking for a vacation where you can learn, be dumbstruck by ancient sights, and enjoy the people, GO TO EGYPT and for icing on the cake, stay at MARA HOUSE!
Please wait...
