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
"This is a delightful guest house. We had a spacious and comfortable three bed apartment on the top floor, with access to a shaded roof garden. The breakfast was wonderful, best of the holiday with fresh fruit and yogurt. I'd also recommend the Egyptian Feast, which is served in your room and comprises about twenty small dishes all made with local ingredients.
The main benefit of staying here though is Mara herself. She organises some great tours. We did two full day tours, one of the West Bank (Valley of the Kings etc) and one to the temples of Abydos and Dendara. This also had the benefit of seeing a lot of the Egyptian countryside going through small towns and villages to see how people live. For £50 each per day including transport and a knowledgeable guide they are great value. You go in a minibus with any other guests from the hotel so its nice and friendly. Mara is also able to give help and advice with anything else you want to do.
Unfortunately we only had two days (one night) but I would definitely go back both to Luxor and to Mara's."
