Highlights
  • Egyptian Museum - The Egyptian Museum is the first museum to be established in the Middle East, housing over 150,000 artifacts. Among its treasures are statues of the kings who built the pyramids, items from King Tut’s collection, and the complete collection of King Tut’s grandparents, Yuya and Thuya.
  • Pyramids of Giza - The Pyramids of Giza represent the pinnacle of Egyptian civilization’s achievements. At 4,600 years old, the Great Pyramid is the last surviving wonder of the ancient world’s seven wonders. The Giza plateau is more than just the three great pyramids; it is an extensive necropolis where Egyptians buried their dead for over 3,000 years. The plateau also features the Great Sphinx, which is part of the visit, and the Valley Temple of King Khafre, the builder of the second pyramid and possibly the face of the Sphinx.
  • Khan Al-Khalili - Khan Al-Khalili is the largest and oldest bazaar in the Middle East, located in the heart of Islamic Cairo, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The atmosphere of Khan Al-Khalili blends the ancient mosques of old Islamic Cairo with modern Egyptian culture, requiring haggling skills when shopping in the market.
  • Great Sphinx - Visit the Great Sphinx, dating back to the time of Khafre. The tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple, associated with Khafre’s pyramid.

Best Guide we’ve ever worked with!!! - We always use personal guides when on vacation (and we always have good/great experiences), but Ramses was far and away the best (and I sincerely doubt he will ever be topped). Ramses cares so deeply about Egyptology and his culture and is committed to sharing his knowledge and passion with his customers. He is warm, genuine, so knowledgeable, and takes the time before and during the trip to make sure it’s curated to your preferences. Our specific trip was just me and my 13-yr old son who wanted to see the pyramids. He showed us the main draws, but also recommended and delivered on off the path sites which were less busy but so rewarding. Helping with literally everything (food, negotiating at the bazaar, etc..) he consistently went above and beyond. I normally don’t write reviews but securing Ramses’ services is the best choice you can make on your visit to Egypt!

The best tour guide in Egypt! - Ramses was the best tour guide! Me and my partner were so pleased with everything, from his lovely and welcoming personality to the sheer depth of his Egyptian history knowledge. The tour was fully customisable and he even let us decide on the day which museum to visit. He also took many pictures and videos of me for my instagram and was extremely patient whenever I wanted to stay longer and take more photos. We arrived as his guests and really felt that we left as friends. He has sent us wonderful tips for the rest of our trip (Cairo, Luxor and Aswan) at no cost. Thank you friend for making our dream holiday come true!! I would definitely recommend him for anyone wanting to visit Egypt and cannot wait to come back on day and meet again.

The Best Guide in Cairo - We had an amazing time with Ramses. The tour was all the better for having him with us. He's friendly and knowledgeable and was even giving us advice days after our tour had finished. If you go to Cairo, definitely book a tour with him.

Unique, off the beaten track - I was wanting to have a more of an authentic experience and visit some places that were off the beaten track, so I booked a full day Pyramid experience with Ramses. The highlights for me were the Dahshur Pyramids (Bent & Red Pyramids), Ramses got me there before everyone else, I literally had them all to myself, hardly any other tourists and no people trying to sell you things. Giza was also good when we got there later in the day, but it was no comparison to my experience at Dashur. Ramses is a great host, very knowledgeable and pointed out lots of small details you would not otherwise notice. He knew everyone, which made getting around a breeze. I also booked a second day to check out Cairo and have Pigeon for lunch! The highlight for me was the museum, again Ramses got me in before everyone else, and I was literally alone with Tutankhamen for 15 mins. If your looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, guide who is flexible in tailoring the experience to you, you won't regret Ramses.

Ramses: the god of tour guides - Ramses is the God of tour guides!!! He made our two days in Cairo absolutely phenomenal. From the pyramids, to the markets, to Coptic churches, temples, and mosques, the trip was everything we had hoped for and more. If you want someone to show you around the city and teach you the history look no further. Ramses went above and beyond to make our visit incredibly safe, worry free, and fun. We cannot wait to come back.

The best tour experience ever!!!! - We had the absolute best experience with Ramses! We were a little nervous coming to Egypt and booked a bespoke tour over two days to ensure we had a local guiding us and couldn’t be happier that we made this decision. Ramses is so knowledgeable, funny, friendly and taught us so much. He made the whole experience so engaging and it truly felt like we were learning about Egypt from a friend. We could tell Ramses is super passionate about Egypt and wants to share his culture with the world. I 100% recommend Ramses for anyone looking for an amazing, unique and fun experience in Egypt.

The best way to experience Egypt - My friends and I could not recommend another tour guide better than Mohie. We organised a custom 2 day tour and had an absolutely spectacular time. He strived to make every moment special and truely made our trip amazing. The amount of knowledge that Mohie has in Egyptology and Egypts history is incredible - there wasn’t a second where we weren’t learning something and he always had answers to our questions. Mohie made special effort to make sure everyone was comfortable at all times and that the pacing of the tour was right for us. Thanks for making our Egypt trip special Mohie, we will be sure to come back to do another custom tour with you so that we can see more of Egypt.
