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
"From the first exchange of emails, Mara was very generous with her advice not only in regards to my planned stay in Luxor but also in regards to the whole trip. No question, query was too much trouble and she basically became my travel adviser for this holiday in Egypt I had been dreaming about for years.
Staying at Mara House is like staying with the locals in a beautifully appointed private house, away from the tourist area.
I was fortunate to stay there twice, first with my son and a week later on my own.
The suite I shared with my son was very spacious, tastefully decorated, well appointed including five star quality bed linen. The suite was smaller on my second stay but had the same ‘home away from home’ feel and attention to details.
The breakfast was a delicious spread and nothing was too much trouble for Ahmed and Amr: from organising a taxi when required to recommending excellent restaurants when in Luxor and picking me up in Aswan in a private car to get back to Luxor.
The Abydos and Dendera tour organised for us by Mara House was outstanding: from the very knowledgeable
Egyptologist guide we had to the smooth driving of the chauffeur and the delicious cold lunch provided.
Mara and Mara House turned my stay in Egypt into an unforgettable, wonderful holiday.
If you are looking for a unique experience, outstanding service and care, Mara House is the place to stay."
