Beyond the Nile
Chase Totality in the Western Desert
Chase totality in Egypt's Western Desert, where the vast landscapes of Siwa Oasis offer an extraordinary setting for an unforgettable journey beneath the desert sky.
Hidden among endless golden dunes, Siwa is a timeless world of palm groves, crystal-clear salt lakes, natural springs, and ancient history - from the legendary Temple of the Oracle, visited by Alexander the Great, to the mud-brick ruins of Shali Fortress.
In Siwa, totality becomes more than a moment in the sky - it becomes part of an extraordinary journey into the heart of Egypt's Western Desert.
Beyond the Horizon
Chase Totality Across Arabia
A brand-new journey beyond Egypt: 8 days through Saudi Arabia, from the modern capital of Riyadh to the ancient Nabataean wonders of AlUla and Hegra, the spiritual atmosphere of Madinah, and a private desert eclipse viewing near Jeddah.
Travel by train from Riyadh to Hail, by private coach across the dramatic landscapes of the north-west, and witness totality from a wide-open farm beneath the Arabian sky.
