TOUR EGYPT WITH MARA

"My family and I visited Egypt for eight days during December and had the most wonderful time. We not only stayed at Mara House in Luxor but also Mara's apartment in Cairo. I would highly recommend both if you want to experience a more honest, colourful and friendly Egypt. I am so very glad we did not opt to stay in hotels because we would not have met the local grocers, bakers, carpenters (who offered my son their toilet when they saw him "dancing" past their shopfront) and the children who always had a smile and greeting for us (especially in Luxor). I truly feel we had a home away from home in both places and that was a relief and a joy after our days out and about, especially in noisy, dirty, fascinating Cairo". - Kellie Morle (stayed Dec. 2011)

As you read through these pages you will find several genuine quotes from our guests such as these onces from Kellie and Peter - they can tell you about Mara House and what we do better than I can.

"Customer services is not about how the smooth running of normal day to day business, but when it hits a problem. The problem: The railway was suspended unexpectedly on the evening of my departure, Mara's staff: Amr, Islam, etc, all assisted me in more than their responsibilities or duties to ensure I can get on the train and catch my flight. As one can imagine the chaos when the railway resumed services!! Ahmed and his team were there at the station on the platform at 01.15 to make sure I get on the train, and got my ticket and found my seat, etc! I cannot ask for better customer services!!" - Peter (Jan 2012) Peter had to get a train to Assuit to catch his return flight to Riyadh.

"A word of advice for prospective visitors to Egypt. If you are watching media reports about Egypt with apprehension please do not let it stop you from visiting. Email Mara and she will be more than happy to update you, as she did me. I had sent her an email after hearing about more riots in Tahrir and was then sent an email and a link to her blog which had a wonderful account of actual life on the streets as well as accompanying pictures. It put me at ease." - Kellie Morle
