Egyptian. Local. Eclipse-obsessed.
A rare alignment and a country that has waited 4,000 years for it.
On 2 August 2027, the Moon's shadow will sweep across the Luxor sky in one of the longest total solar eclipses of the century. More than six minutes of totality directly over the temples of ancient Thebes.
We've built every itinerary around the eclipse path pairing premium Nile cruises and traditional dahabiyas with local Egyptologist guides, sleeper-train transfers, and unrushed time at the temples that matter, all with the best rates.
