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!

We had a wonderful tour of Cairo with Ramses! There is a reason he is a top guide! He is fun, compassionate, and flexible. Ramses seamlessly put the history in religious and political context, and then brought it all forward to modern Egypt. He is knowledgeable across all eras of Egyptian history, so it tied very nicely to our previous tours in the Nile Valley. We really appreciated his perspective on current day Egypt as well.

A day like the one we had in Cairo with Ramses is everything you could hope for as a tourist. An absolutely unforgettable and wonderful day. Ramses is not only incredibly friendly, but he also speaks perfect English and clearly knows exactly what he is talking about. A passionate guide with a great sense of humor, he takes you on a fascinating journey through the wonders of Ancient Egypt. Book this outstanding guide if you genuinely want to learn about the history and treasures of Ancient Egypt.

We actually booked 3 days with Ramses as part of our family spring break. Giza Pyramids and GEM, Dahshur and Saqqara, and Cairo church/market tour/experience. Ramses was exceptional on all fronts… knowledgeable and well educated, engaging with our whole family, organized and punctual, and a great communicator. I would definitely recommend a private guide to get the full experience of Cairo and lessen the hectic nature of the city, and feedback from my kids was that they loved Ramses. The pyramids in particular would not be the same without a high quality guide.

Ramses was absolutely incredible! His knowledge was unmatched, and he somehow knew exactly what we needed without us even having to ask. He tailored the entire tour around our interests, giving us the most unforgettable experience of Cairo. From the moment we met him, we felt so welcomed and genuinely taken care of. What meant the most was his kindness and hospitality—it truly made the trip special. Words can’t fully capture how much we loved this experience, and we owe all of it to Ramses. Highly, highly recommend, we always know we have a friend in Cairo!

We spent 2 great days with Ramses. Day 2 included the Pyramids, and Saqqara. Note - early start required for the Pyramids, which was a shock to the system but very justified given that we almost had the Great Pyramid to ourselves. As a once in a lifetime trip, hiring Ramses was definitely justified to ensure we got the most out of our trip. Highly recommended !
