         A Welcome from Dr. Perry Kyles

I would like to welcome you to the 2026–2027 Kemet 101: 12-Day Educational Experience.

It will be my pleasure to guide you as you journey into the world of your ancestors.

Through my books, lectures, and tours, I have introduced thousands of people to Kemet—its people, its philosophy, and the mindset of its great kings and queens. This experience is designed to move beyond surface-level tourism and into understanding.

You will encounter the most recognized monuments of Ancient Egypt, including the Pyramids of the Giza Plateau, the Step Pyramid of Imhotep at Saqqara, and the major museums of Cairo. You will also visit significant sites such as the Temple of Seti I at Abydos, home of the King’s List, as well as the great temples of Hatshepsut, Ramses II, and Nefertari.

This journey also includes time in Aswan, where you will experience contemporary Nubian culture, hospitality, and cuisine.

The ancient Egyptians met every challenge with ingenuity, discipline, and purpose. You will explore how principles such as Ma’at shaped what remains one of the most enduring and influential civilizations in human history.

This is more than a tour.

It is a return, a study, and a direct engagement with a foundational civilization.

I encourage you to take this journey.
