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.

What a great first day in Egypt tour.

Ragab was knowledgeable, flexible, and fun!! We wanted a customized version of this tour for four of us, and Ragab was eager to adjust. His English was very good. We went at our own pace, and never felt rushed. We also appreciated that he never pressured us for more money nor a tip during our time together - and yes we ended by willingly tipping him generously… Highly recommended!!

What a outstanding day we spent with Ragab! The tour of Historic Cairo was fantastic. Ragab took us to a number of what can only be described as the hidden gems in the old city. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Ragab. He was very accommodating and flexible as to what we wanted to see and how much time we wanted to spend at each site. Plus, his explanations were informative and he made the day a lot of fun. It was like touring the city with a friend. I highly recommend him!

One of the best tours we have had. We had a short amount of time for tourism in Cairo. Ragab was very responsive and kowledgeable to helped us plan an amazing morning touring old Cairo. On the tour itself, Ragab was a very informed and attentive guide. We learned a lot and felt like we were exploring - Ragab adjusted along the way based on our preferences and discoveries. Finally, he managed time masterfully and covered more ground than expected while respecting our hard stop. Highly recommened
