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 House was a great place to stay with our 8-year-old twins. We had a “family apartment” – two bedrooms with a HUGE living room, so the kids could go to bed, and we could still stay up (and read guidebooks!). There was more than enough room for the kids to build their “tomb”, inspired by the sights, adorned with various purchases from the bazaar.
The rooms are decorated beautifully, and are welcoming to come back to. Mara and her staff are wonderful.
One of the many things we loved about Mara House is the fact that Mara will arrange a taxi/car to take you to any of the sights, at a quite cheap price (and you can get a boxed lunch, if you like). She truly does care that you have a good time, as opposed to getting one more dollar, which makes a huge difference. She’s also an amazing resource. We had a great time.
We really enjoyed the location. It was perfect for us – a 10-minute walk from Luxor Temple, but just a little bit off the beaten path, so you get a bit more of a sense of the “real Egypt”, but you are still quite, well, cosseted!
We also very much liked the roof terrace (especially with a drink from the mini-bar)!
Highly to be recommended!"
