Trip overview

A rare convergence of ancient history, Mediterranean charm and celestial wonder. Over 8 days and 7 nights, from 28 July to 4 August 2027, travel from Cairo and Alexandria deep into the mystical Siwa Oasis to witness the Total Solar Eclipse from a specially arranged viewing location in the Siwa region. Explore the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum, ride the coastal Talgo Train to Alexandria, and discover the springs, salt lakes and mud-brick ruins of Siwa with an expert Egyptologist throughout.

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, the oasis reveals a side of Egypt shaped by nature, heritage, and centuries-old Siwan traditions.

Here, the journey goes far beyond the celestial spectacle. Float effortlessly in Siwa's brilliant salt lakes, venture across the Great Sand Sea, bathe in natural springs, discover traditional Siwan culture, and watch the desert transform beneath spectacular sunsets.

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.
