ACCOMMODATION IN LUXOR,
EGYPT - Mara House
|
"We had not appreciated what a normal Egyptian residential
area was like until we stayed at Mara House but it was all the better for the
experience and we were very glad we had not opted for a big hotel in the tourist
part of town. Hassle from hawkers and traders etc is a fact of life in the
tourist areas of Luxor and other cities and site areas in Egypt and can be very
annoying.
We found once we came back across the railway line into the Mara
House side
of town the attention we received was due to the friendliness of the people
especially the children, and all they wanted was for us to say 'Hello' back to
them and shake their hands.
Mara House is not a luxury 5 star hotel but a really
lovely place to stay with real personality and was more like staying with
friends who were giving you your own time and space than staying in a hotel."
- Sue Q (London stayed Dec 2011)

My personal intention to create a unique experience for you
in Egypt is a waste of time unless everyone who works with me shares that vision
and you can see from our guest comments and reviews online that all my team wish
only the very best for you......

"Mara House's manager Amr was a wonderful guide and
companion for my family in Luxor. He was also the one who met us at the front
door at 1am (!) in Cairo, showed us around the apartment and gave us our maps
and instructions. He was also in Luxor when we arrived there four days
later. Amr and his staff did a wonderful job of welcoming us and helping
us to get the most out of our trip.
Amr and Karim were just gorgeous with my
boys when we were at Mara House. They sat down and drew with them, showed them
all the plants on the roof terrace and were always so welcoming and attentive
when we would arrive back at Mara House after a day out.
I wish we had more
time in Egypt. My nine-year-old son has just said he wants to come back and
stay one day. He said he wants to stay here again because he wants to "see the
people again". I thought he'd say the mummies and treasure!"

We are not on the Tourist Strip. We
are the only tourist business behind the train station in a truly Egyptian
neighbourhood. We live among the tradesmen, carpenters, electricians, craftsmen
& their families.
We have children playing in the
street, men and women chatting on the doorsteps, early morning calls to prayer,
and if there is a wedding in the neighborhood you are welcome to drop in! As you
can see we have the odd balloon popping in now and then!
you get to experience the real life in Luxor without the infamous 'Luxor
Hassle'!
Mara House is only a 10 minute walk
to the train station + another 10 mins to Luxor Temple, the Souk and the Nile.
