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 a bit off the beaten track but makes a pleasant change from big corporate hotel chains . Each room is actually a mini appartment- living room and separate bedroom - with tasteful simple decorations in keeping with Egypt. A small kitchenette and big fridge are also handy. The one thing not really up with the rest is the shower room/toilet which is basic to say the least and is on Mara's to do list!
The main benefit of staying with Mara, apart from the more personalised feel, is that she has a good network of contacts so tours , taxis and things like that can be arranged with confidence. Also, she sells beer , water and snacks at their Egyptian prices rather than the ludicrous multiples of the bigger hotels.
Mara , being of Irish origin, is also able to have long discussions with you about the wonders of Egypt and their links with other parts of Western Europe - good over a nice cup of mint tea or a beer."
