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
"Mara's House is lovely and you get personal attention from the idiosyncratic and attentive Mara. These are big advantages. To address what other's have (negatively) mentioned: it _is_ a little far out and when you arrive you _do_ feel...gosh, why am I staying here? BUT the truth is it's a very easy 10-15 minute walk from the center of Luxor (which turned out to be really inconsequential to me) and the fact that it's not right in the tourist district is actually refreshing. The advantages...specifically the quality of the rooms which are lovely...far outweigh the negatives (or at least they did for me). Mara is extremely helpful (another major advantage) in helping first time visitors negotiate the tourist options of Luxor...for instance Valley of the Kings and which tombs to see from the list that is open. The guides you can get through Mara, I found to be good. It's true, Mara's House is a little on the expensive side and especially in the current Egyptian situation where tourist trade is at a low, you might be able to get better deals elsewhere...but I found staying there lovely, and would whole heartedly recommend it."
