Overview
A nine-day journey built around the 2 August 2027 totality, pairing Cairo and the Grand Egyptian Museum with a Nile cruise through Edfu, Kom Ombo and Abu Simbel.
The total solar eclipse of 2 August 2027 crosses southern Egypt, and the centre line runs close to Luxor — where totality lasts around six minutes and twenty seconds, among the longest anywhere on accessible land this century. This nine-day package places you in Upper Egypt for that morning, then uses the surrounding days for the sites most travellers come to Egypt for.
You begin in Cairo with the Giza plateau and the Grand Egyptian Museum, fly south to Luxor for the eclipse itself, and continue by Nile cruise through Edfu and Kom Ombo to Aswan, finishing with Philae and an Abu Simbel excursion. Guiding is private throughout, and the eclipse-day schedule is built around the viewing window rather than fitted around a standard tour day.
