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
"We travelled to Egypt in such a special perild (Jan 30 - Feb 7, 2011). We're happy to be Mara's only guest during our stay in Luxor. Due to the travel alert, all the guests cancelled their bookings except us.
We have a rather luxury room with two bed rooms and a spacious living room with dining and cooking area. The room is very clean and we love the towel with apple smell. The room is especially good for those who travel with kids and big families.
Mara and her staff are very helpful during our stay in Luxor. Abydos and Dendara temple are the most impressive tempel for our trip. Thanks to Mara who recommend them and arrange the trip for us. Mara also provids many useful travel tips in Egypt which is very helpful during sightseeing and bargain with locals.
Although the hotel locates a little bit far away from the center of Luxor, it is in a local neighbourhood. You can enjoy local children say hello and shake hands with you when going into / out the hotel. It takes about 15 - 20 minutes walk to the Luxor temple across the Luxor train station. I should say walking in the city can help us enjoy the city more. We really enjoy friendly Egyptians who are always smile and happy to say hello to us.
We love Egypt and will surely come back again. Mara House will be our first choice when we come back."
