ABELA × AMISOL
ECLIPSE EXPRESS 2027
By Rail to Totality.
Luxor • 2 August 2027
To mark the historic Total Solar Eclipse of 2 August 2027, the expertise of Amisol Travel Egypt, which has served more than one million travellers since 1999, comes together with Abela Egypt, part of the Orascom Group and the first private-sector company to manage and operate Egypt's sleeper trains, to create an exceptional travel experience designed especially around this extraordinary global event.
With the Abela × Amisol Eclipse Express, the train journey becomes far more than simply a way to travel between Egypt's cities. It becomes an essential part of the eclipse experience itself. Guests journey from Cairo through the Nile Valley aboard upgraded sleeper trains, enjoying comfortable sleeping cabins, onboard hospitality and dinner service as they travel towards Upper Egypt to witness one of the rarest astronomical spectacles of our time.
This collaboration has resulted in a series of five distinctive rail journeys, offering different itineraries and durations and giving eclipse enthusiasts the opportunity to combine Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the treasures of Ancient Egypt with the moment everyone is travelling for: standing in the path of totality on 2 August 2027.
