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
"Following the excellent reviews, I decided to book a room for 2 nights during the Xmas break. I travelled with my wife and my sons aged 24, 21 and 16.
What we got was beyond our expectations. First Mara is such a nice person always available to advise her customers on how to make the most of Luxor and its surroundings. We did the tour to Abydos and Dendera and that was worth the long drive. One of my sons suffered from a stomach bug and Mara gave him the tablets to cure his problem. Her staff is very helpful too.
As far as the room is concerned it was more like a flat with 3 bedrooms, a bathroom, a lounge and a dining area. There was as well a fridge and a sink. After a long day out we could relax on the roof terrace which offers a fantastic view of Luxor especially at night. Breakfast which offers Egyptan products was great. As far as the location is concerned I was pleased Mara House is located in a residential area. It's only a 10 min walk from the train station and while walking you come to see the real Egyptian way of life with the different workshops (mechanics, baker, laundry etc..) set in the streets.
The people are very friendly and we didn't come across a single person begging for money. It's a very safe environment. So a fantastic experience and we will come back to Mara House to do the West bank Tour with Mara's guide."
