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 traveled to Egypt recently with my two eldest (13 yo girl and 11 yo boy..) Our timetable did not permit us to take a tour and I was a bit daunted by all the arrangements that I needed to make to see the sites (even though I am a lonely planet fan and have been to Egypt before). In addition, standard hotel rooms are not great for our traveling configuration. I came across Mara House on Trip Advisor and shot off an email to Mara.
I received a reply very quickly and called her to make arrangements. She arranged all transfers as well as guides. In addition, she made suggestions (that turned out to be fantastic) about what and how to see things in Luxor.
We arrived late in the evening from Cairo and she was there to greet us. The rooms were amazing - clean and very comfortable. The service was impeccable [I made the mistake of leaving dirty clothes in a pile and they were taken away, washed and pressed gratis!] and breakfasts were very tasty.
Mara was a pleasure to talk to, and her knowledge of Luxor is fantastic. She also took time to talk to my kids and found out what they enjoyed, how their day was etc.
I would heartily recommend Mara to anyone who is traveling to Luxor, and I would go back in a heartbeat. My one regret is that I could not find anyone comparable in Cairo!"
