Guest Book

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

We had an incredible time. Mahmoud, our guide, was exceptional. He was professional, knowledgeable, pleasant, and fun. I have nothing but good things to say about him and our experiences. I also want to say that the driver, Heni (spelling?) was fantastic. He was very accommodating and always had a smile on his face. All-in-all…you have a tremendous staff. Can’t wait for the Luxor experience 😊

We just arrived in Luxor and Mara House kindly drove us from the airport to our Airbnb. Today we will meet our Luxor guide and over the next few days see, and experience, the many sites we scheduled to see.

This, from my experience up to now, is an exceptional tour service. I would highly recommend Mara House and would encourage you to read their many helpful articles…especially the guide to tipping. I cannot comment on the hotel or the rooms as we decided to experience Airbnb, but for future trips I would not hesitate staying at Mara House based on the quality service we have experienced so far.

We just finished the second part of our journey…Luxor. Mohamed our tour guide was fantastic as was Teeto our driver. Mohamed was exceptionally knowledgeable as he showed us Valley of the Kings & Queens and many of the tombs on the first day then Karnak and Luxor Temples on the second day. We were all very impressed with him. He was patient with our questions and took excellent care of us. Mara House did an exceptional job organizing our tours based on what we wanted to see. Mara also organized a driver to take us to Hurghada after our stay in Luxor. Over all we would rate Mara House 10/10. Exceptional service from everyone. We would not hesitate to use them again in the future.
