A Welcome By Dr. Perry Kyles

I would like to welcome you to our 2025 Kemet 101 12-Day Educational Tour. It will be my great pleasure to be your tour guide as you delve back into the world of your ancestors.

Through my books, lectures, and tours I have introduced thousands of people to the world of Kemet/Ancient Egypt and the mindset of the Great Kings and Queens of Ancient Egypt. You will see firsthand all of the popular monuments such as the Pyramids of Giza Plateau, the Great Step Pyramid that was designed by Imhotep and the foremost Cairo Museum. You will visit important monuments like Seti’s temple at Abydos that features the King’s List. Additionally, you will visit the grand temples of King Hatshepsut, King Ramses II, and Ramses’ great wife Nefertari. This journey will enable you to experience contemporary Nubian life and cuisine.

The ANCIENT Egyptians responded to all challenges with great ingenuity and determination. You will also learn how they applied concepts such as MA’AT to establish the most successful civilization in human history.

I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO TAKE THIS PILGRIMAGE!
