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
"I stayed at mara house mainly as a consequence of the trip advisor reviews. It proved to be a great decision and is a wonderful base for exploring Luxor and beyond.
The rooms are in fact apartments which was a nice surprise as lack of space is normally my biggest bugbear with most hotels.
I booked a few tours through mara house and thought them great value and efficiently organised. Both guides I experienced were enthusiastic and well versed in their subject.
Maras staff are exceptional . They couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. Special thanks to the GM Sahry and Amr the 'master chef" who were beyond terrific. Do not miss the banquet !
I'm not sure how the bad reviews came about however all the people who were staying when I was there were loving it. Note- this is not a holiday inn type experience....if that's what you are looking for I'd look elsewhere.
If you would like to experience genuine Egyptian hospitality and the beautiful environment that has been created by Mara and her team do not hesitate to book. By the way Luxor and Aswan felt extremely chilled out and safe. Not even a hint of tension.
I am already planning my next trip to this amazing part of the world. Final note - the surrounding area is simply a typical Egyptian street. No better or worse than others in Luxor."
