Hello and welcome! I’m Ragab, a licensed private tour guide with a Bachelor’s degree in the History of Ancient Egypt (Egyptology) and over 15 years of experience helping travelers discover the wonders of Egypt in a meaningful, personal way. Guiding isn’t just my profession — it’s my passion. I love seeing Egypt through the eyes of each traveler I meet, and nothing makes me happier than watching someone fall in love with this country the way I did. Your experience is always my priority. I take time to understand what you hope to see, feel, and learn during your visit — whether it’s exploring ancient temples, wandering through local markets, tasting authentic Egyptian food, or simply enjoying the peaceful rhythm of the Nile. Every itinerary is fully customized around your interests and pace, ensuring that your journey feels effortless, enriching, and truly yours. Thanks to my background in Egyptology, I bring each site to life with stories, fascinating details, and connections that go beyond what guidebooks can offer — always keeping it fun, engaging, and easy to relate to. Whether it’s catching the sunrise at Abu Simbel, hearing the call to prayer echo through Old Cairo, or sharing a simple meal by the Nile, I believe Egypt is best experienced with heart, not haste. Fluent in English and Arabic, I welcome solo travelers, couples, families, and small groups. I believe that kindness, respect, and good energy make the best foundation for any trip. I don’t drink or smoke, but I love laughter, good conversation, and genuine moments of connection. Please take a look at my tours — and if you’d like, I can tailor one exactly to your interests. I’m here to make sure your time in Egypt feels easy, inspiring, and full of great memories, so feel free to reach out anytime. Specializations: • Expert in Ancient Egyptian religion and art history • Customized private tours for all traveler types • Private interpreter/translator (English–Arabic) Credentials: • BA in History of Ancient Egypt (Egyptology) • Official Tour Guide License – Ministry of Tourism, Egypt • 15+ Years of Guiding Experience While I’m a licensed tour guide, I always work with a professional driver to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the journey.
