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
Egypt is exotic and perceived to be very alien from western culture so most first time travellers will have many anxieties and fears, but Mara (Marie) provides a full service experience and the most experienced and honest guides.
The result is a magical travel experience focused on absorbing the unique grand ancient history of Egypt and not worried on the logistics of a seemingly chaotic system.
Her secret sauce is privileged private access to sacred sights and experiences that other agencies cannot match or deliver.
I still wonder at how she delivered my amazing full itinerary at a far lower price than some large package tour operators I initially researched.
If you are looking for the best experience at the best value matched to your special needs for travel to Egypt Mara is all you need.
