Hi there! Nice to meet you

Ramses XII

Greetings, World Travelers! I'm Mohie, also known as Ramses XII, the owner of Tour Guide Ramses XII. 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, " available in Arabic 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 embark on an adventure through Egypt's glorious past together!

Ramses was simply fantastic. We absolutely loved his company, his sense of humour and conversation... And then there is his encyclopaedic knowledge of Egyptian history. Our time in Cairo was limited, but we crammed a huge amount of the tourist Must llsees. _3Sensational, believe the Hype

Ramses has incredible knowledge of Cairo’s history and great perspective on life in the city today. It very quickly felt like we were being shown around by a friend. Stopped for Egyptian coffee and conversation before heading deep into the old city, wrapping up with a delicious lunch. Highly recommend. Amazing knowledge and great food

Don’t hesitate to choose Ramses for your Cairo (or other areas in Egypt) touring adventure… We hired Ramses for two days and the knowledge he was able to share is amazing, and his tours are fun and cater for everyone. The driver was also fantastic, and was always waiting for us on return. Scott & Debbie (Melbourne, AUSTRALIA) Choose Ramses, you wont be disappointed.

Rarely do you meet guides who are as friendly yet professional, knowledgeable yet able to share that knowledge so easily, and a joy to spend time with. Ramses is a true delight and you will have an incredible time with him. He is brilliant at communicating and incredibly thoughtful. You’ll make the most of your visit to Egypt for certain if you book to spend time with Ramses. We loved being with him and recommend him 100%Ramses- here is a real treasure of a guide

Had a wonderful experience. Ramses was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodated all our requests. The tour itself was very interesting and provided a different viewpoint with a historical background of the three coexisting religions as well as a modern view of Cairo and a very fun bazaar. Highly recommended.Interesting and fun experience

We had such exceptional adventures with Ramses. He is an Egyptologist, historian and a very caring and knowledgeable trip leader. We met as customers and left as friends. He tailored our adventures by listening to the things we were most interested in seeing. He always took such good care of us. We felt comfortable and completely safe. We booked private adventures with Ramses. He navigated each day remarkably. We can’t sing his praises enough.Ramses the Great

We had a great day with Ramses XII and driver, Johnny, in Alexandria. We saw everything we wanted and Ramses was very informative and also shared his past experiences of Alexandria. Would definitely recommend.

Ramses is as good of a tour guide as you will find. First, he knows his stuff. But that’s the bare minimum needed. Our two day tour took into account our family’s needs and desires and made it personal to us. Last minute change, no problem - he adapted. We want to get street food, no problem, he took us to a a great spot. The van was always stocked with water and snacks. And we ended the trip having made a new friend. If you’re in Cairo, he will 100% take care of your family’s needs. Great Personalized Tour
