We are staying at Mara House for the fourth time and I am in trouble with Mara herself because every time I go home I promise to write a review, and I always forget. So this time I'm writing this while still in Luxor!

We are very happy to recommend Mara House to anyone wanting to stay in Luxor. The building is light and airy, very clean, and in a quiet, residential district. The owner organizes all the trips that we require so that we are able to see everything that Luxor has to offer (and there's a lot to see) with minimum effort.

Have no worries about finding the building---Mara sends a taxi to meet you at the airport. Bliss!

If you're coming to Luxor, Come to Mara House!

Just back from a month-long holiday in Egypt. Mara House in Luxor was one of the best places we stayed on our trip!! The house itself was lovely; beautifully decorated with all authentic furniture. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Its only a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Luxor so its a perfect base if you want to explore the sights by yourself. Alternatively Mara House runs organised tours to all the major sights; we took the Abydos-Dendera tour which, because it's a little off the beaten track turned out to be one of the highlights of our holiday! The resturant adjoining the hotel is a little gem..its a banquet-style meal of all authentic egyptian food.. it was really tasty and good value aswell.
Mara herself is a lovely woman..she's extremely helpful & knows alot about the area and its history. There's a really personal touch to Mara House that almost makes you feel that you're home away from home! All in all, I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone who's planning on visiting Luxor!

This was my third trip out to Mara House and I was bowled over again.

Mara house offers a unique chance of seeing Egyptian life outside of the tourist area!

The building is spotlessly clean and the apartments are luxurious and spacious, fitted either with air conditioning or fans. Each aparatment has a kitchenette and a lovely spacious living room as well as the bedrooms.

The Salhadeen restaurant and bar are on site, so food and drink are easily available.

The staff are very friendly and always willing to help you with anything. Mara in particular, willing to go to great lengths to help you with any plans you may have during your stay in Egypt.

I am already looking forward to my next trip out there.
