A short walk from the Nile, Mara House is a great family-run hotel with a personal touch, offering a unique experience for those seeking to get away from it all.
Mara House is an Irish-owned and run Private House in a quiet residential area, just a 10-minute walk from the train station and Luxor Temple.
The city of Luxor runs alongside the Nile, and is characterized by the many ancient monuments, temples and tombs that still stand within the modern city, making it a haven for tourists aching to see the remnants of Ancient Egypt.
The hotel itself caters for a small number of vacancies, thus ensuring a high standard of quality for all guests. With a great atmosphere, a unique restaurant and café, and special package deals with excursions, this hotel offers a personal touch that is sometimes lacking in today’s fast-paced world.
Food & beverageDining at Salahadeen's Restaurant at the Mara House will be a unique experience during your visit. The food is freshly cooked local produce, prepared and served in traditional Egyptian ways. This means no menus, and you are able to eat as much as you want for a regularly fixed price. Reservations are recommended.
The bar opens from 8am to 1am. Should you require anything else the bar carries a wide variety of both imported and local beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks.
There is also a rooftop coffee shop with an open-air panoramic view.
Area information
