Greetings, World Travelers! I'm Ramses XII, "The Living Pharaoh". I'm not just an English-speaking tour guide; I'm your ultimate storyteller and visual chronicler of adventures. Picture this: an Ancient Egyptian navigating the modern world, on a relentless quest for sacred knowledge and thrilling experiences. My journey began at Cairo University, where I graduated with a degree in Egyptology from the Faculty of Archaeology in 2008. From there, I ventured into the world of tourism, acquiring a tour guide license and later earning a Master's degree in Heritage Conservation. My career kicked off in 2008, working with renowned travel giants like TUI Travel and Thomas Cook in the captivating Sharm El-Sheikh resort. In 2016, I returned to Cairo, my beloved hometown, dedicating myself to freelance tour guiding. I've curated countless private tours across Egypt, each one a unique adventure. But wait, there's more! In 2020, I proudly penned my first book, "The Complete Ramses II" Followed by a second one " The Complete Hyksos" available in Egyptian and soon to be translated into English. You'll find me actively engaged on social media and making appearances on Egyptian television. But my true passion lies in archaeology tours. I relish the fact that ancient monuments hold countless untold stories, my fervent passion is to breathe life into these narratives and share Egypt's resplendent past with the world. Join me on an extraordinary journey where history comes alive, where every ancient stone whispers its story. Let's go back in time on an adventure through Egypt's glorious past together!

Ramses was an exceptional find for our layover tour in Cairo. Sorting through the many tour options and guides can be overwhelming but Ramses met and exceeded every expectation and made the entire experience seamless, memorable and fun! He ensured we arrived at the sites before the crowds (the VIP tour is absolutely worth it if you have limited time at the pyramids!) and helped us see everything on our wish list, along with a few highlights we didn’t know to ask for. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the culture and the history sharing his expertise in a way that was very approachable and personable. Ramses managed the schedule seamlessly, making the most of our limited time but never making us feel rushed. He was an excellent guide and was absolutely the best choice for our layover tour.
I can’t say enough about how terrific my week with Ramses was! The 5 millennia history of ancient Egypt can be difficult to contextualize and comprehend, especially when you consider people beyond the pharaohs court. Ramses “decoded” Egypts vast history and gave meaning to what I was seeing when viewing the monuments. That made for a much richer experience than simply viewing massive stone structures. Cairo is an intense place and Ramses went above and beyond helping me with transportation beyond my tour and guiding me on places to eat, etc. I’ve done tours all around the world with first class operators and guides and I place Ramses at the top of my list.
I enjoyed a 2 day tour with Ramses. He was more than just a guide, he acted as a friend, a teacher, and a calming voice in what can be a chaotic city. I appreciate his knowledge, his friendship, and everything he did for me in our two days together. I cannot adequately express my profound gratitude for all he gave to me. You will never regret booking his invaluable services! Thanks Ramses!
Ramses was an outstanding tour guide in Cairo, Egypt. His warm hospitality made us feel welcome from the moment he picked us up. He crafted a well-organized itinerary with smooth transportation and shared his deep knowledge of Egyptian culture and history, explaining everything in detail and answering all our questions. Ramses went above and beyond, taking us to enjoy delicious, authentic Egyptian food and ensuring we were comfortable throughout the trip. Even after the tour ended, he checked in to make sure we safely arrived at the airport and our flight. If you’re looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, and exceptional guide in Cairo, Ramses is the one to choose!
I chose Ramses over everyone else due to his impressive credentials. He did not disappoint! His in-depth knowledge provided us with a deeper understanding of all things “ancient Egypt.” He knew just how to expedite and navigate us with shortcuts and other helpful tips. You can tell how passionate he is about Egyptology and wanting to share his experiences with us. He made our day so much fun – and we were comfortable and happy and entertained throughout. We only had one afternoon in Cairo, so we accomplished everything we wanted – the pyramids and sphinx, lunch on the Giza plateau, the Egyptian museum and the famous bizarre. Plus, he pointed out other historical and interesting buildings and sites along the way. He stayed close to us and made sure we were happy and at ease. His personality is infectious, and I cannot recommend him enough!
• Pick up from Cairo airport. • Explore the magnificent Giza plateau, home to the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Valley Temple. • Experience the rich history of Almoez street, the former administrative capital of Islamic Egypt, boasting Cairo's most famous mosques and Islamic monuments. • Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Khan Al Khalili Bazaar, the largest bazaar in the Middle East, for an authentic local experience. • Enjoy a delicious lunch of authentic Egyptian cuisine. • Conclude the tour with a drive back to Cairo airport.
