Best Tour Guide in Luxor - If you're searching for a great Luxor experience look no further because you won't get anything better than a trip with Ra.
His outstanding knowledge about Egyptian history and fluent English skills make the tour really easy to follow and especially interesting for culture lovers.
When asked he knew the answer to every question we made and even added some interesting anecdotes.
Another advantage is that he will organize everything from transport to buying the tickets which makes travelling a lot less stressful. (This way you can avoid the haggling for prices that is common for locals, but really uncomfortable for tourist)
All in all, me and my friend would recommend his tour to everyone that likes to make their Egypt trip a unforgettable and stress free experience :)

Best Experience We Could Have Asked For!! - How incredibly lucky we were to have Ra as our tour guide through the West Bank of Luxor! We did 3 temples on our tour and Ra answered every single question we had. He shared his experiences of growing up in the area with us, recommended books of temple workers and enlightened us with all he has learned about the places we visited. Ra was professional, kind, funny and engaging. We are thrilled with our tour. Best tour guide in all of Egypt! 🥸

An essential and memorable guide for our first time in Egypt. - Egyptologist Ra helped us enormously in West Bank temples and tombs, East Bank temples, Edfu Temple, Daraw Camel Market, and a day drive to Aswan, all in cooperation with LuxorTaxiEg dot com of Mr. Ahmed Ragb. Mr. Ra was born and raised on the West Bank of Luxor, his local knowledge and goodwill in the community cannot be beat! Excellent communications in English; he also speaks German. Very considerate of our pace and safety.

A wonderful half day tour of Luxor’s West Bank with tour guide Ra. Highly recommend! - Ra took us on a wonderful private half day tour of the Temple of Hatshepsut, Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens in Luxor. He is so passionate about Egyptology and was incredibly knowledgeable of all the sites and tombs m. He went out of his way to look after us and answer all our questions.
Ra is a wonderful human and was so kind and caring towards us. He let us do the tour at our own pace and was also very patient with us when we wanted photo stops.
Ra also gave us great recommendations of what to do in the area and we also stopped off at an awesome restaurant on the way back to our hotel, which he recommended. I would highly recommend Ra as a tour guide of choice to anyone traveling through Luxor
