Once in a Lifetime
Six Minutes
Six Thousand Years.
Six thousand years ago, people on this bank named the sun a god, carved him into stone, and pointed their temples toward the place he rose. On the second of August 2027, he will vanish from the sky above their monuments for six minutes and twenty-two seconds, the longest darkness to fall on land until 2114. A god, gone from his own sky.
The Extensions
Turn The Eclipse Into A Longer Egypt Tour Package
Guests can choose to extend their Egypt journey after the eclipse with two or three nights on the Red Sea or Mediterranean coast, with stays and transfers arranged as part of their wider program.
The Red Sea
Extend the journey with a few days of calm sea, diving, and snorkeling in Hurghada or Marsa Alam, with all-inclusive stays at Azur and Azal Hotels.
The Mediterranean
Add Alexandria and El Alamein for a change of pace, with Mediterranean beaches, historic sites, and refreshing waves.
FAQs
Where is the best place to see the 2027 total solar eclipse?
Luxor. The path of totality crosses Upper Egypt, and Luxor sits close to the centerline with 6 minutes and 22 seconds of darkness, the longest visible on land until 2114. August is also the month Luxor is least likely to see clouds.
Is there a Luxor eclipse tour available for 2027?
Yes. Our 9-day Egypt solar eclipse tour begins in Luxor on July 31, 2027, and places guests on the Nile for totality on August 2. It continues south to Aswan and Abu Simbel, then to Cairo, with optional Red Sea and Mediterranean extensions.
Will the 2027 eclipse go over the pyramids?
No. Giza sits outside the path of totality and will see a partial eclipse only. To see the sun disappear completely, you need to be in Upper Egypt. Our itinerary visits Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum after the eclipse on day 8.
What is included in the Egypt solar eclipse tour?
Nine days with six nights aboard a five-star Nile vessel and two nights in a Cairo hotel. All meals on board, an astronomer for eclipse day, licensed Egyptologist guides, entrance fees, domestic flights, and all transfers in our own vehicles.
