HBCU & Divine Nine Egypt Tour: Alumni & Greek Heritage Journey
The chapter reunion, upgraded: a private 8-day Egypt journey for HBCU alumni and Divine Nine organizations — letters at the Pyramids, a private Nile cruiser, and every detail handled.
Overview
Your organization was founded on scholarship, service and the bonds of sisterhood and brotherhood — so take those bonds to the civilization where scholarship began. This is a private eight-day journey for HBCU alumni chapters, Divine Nine sororities and fraternities, and Black Greek organizations who want their next reunion to mean something more than a hotel ballroom. Photograph your line in your letters in front of the Great Pyramid. Hear your Egyptologist connect Kemet's temples and libraries to the intellectual tradition your founders built on. Sail four nights on a private five-star cruiser where the sundeck becomes your chapter meeting, and stand at Abu Simbel in ancient Nubia with the people who crossed the burning sands with you. We run the operations — rooming lists by line-brother and line-sister preference, group flights, dietary needs, a farewell dinner worthy of a probate afterparty — so the chapter just shows up and celebrates. Founders' Day will never top this.

Itinerary
Day 1: The reunion begins
Meet-and-assist walks the chapter through Cairo Airport and private vehicles deliver everyone to the hotel. The welcome reception that evening is the real kickoff — old lines reunited, new members folded in, and the itinerary toasted.
Day 2: Letters at the Great Pyramid
A full morning on the Giza plateau with your Egyptologist — and dedicated time for the photo this trip will be remembered by: the whole group in letters before the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx. The Grand Egyptian Museum follows, Tutankhamun's collection included.
Day 3: Old Cairo, then wheels up as a chapter
Coptic and Islamic Cairo, a run through Khan el-Khalili for gifts and gold, then the group flight south to Aswan to board your private cruiser — the floating chapter house for the next four nights.
Day 4: Philae and the Nubian south
The island Temple of Philae, then a living Nubian village where the music and colour meet you at the dock. Sunset brings a group felucca sail through Aswan's islands — deck shoes optional, cameras mandatory.
Day 5: Abu Simbel at dawn
An early departure for Abu Simbel, Ramses' mountain-cut temples in the heart of ancient Kush. Standing there in your organization's colours, two thousand miles from the yard, is a Founders' Day moment no ballroom can offer. Sail on toward Kom Ombo.
Day 6: River temples and sundeck sessions
Kom Ombo and Edfu by day, and the sundeck in between — where the real chapter meeting happens, somewhere between the card game and the third retelling of the probate story.
Day 7: Karnak, the Kings and the last night
Karnak's hypostyle hall and the Avenue of Sphinxes, then the Valley of the Kings across the river. The farewell dinner that night is the trip's own homecoming — before the morning flight back to Cairo.
Day 8: Cross the sands home
A relaxed morning, then meet-and-assist through the airport for the flight home — with the chapter group photo already set as everybody's profile picture.
