Overview

Built around the total solar eclipse of 2 August 2027, this eight-day journey places you in Luxor – the heart of the path of totality – on the morning of the event, then rewards you with a relaxed Nile cruise to Aswan and the great sights of Cairo.

You witness the eclipse among the temples of Thebes, sail past Edfu and Kom Ombo, explore Aswan, and finish with the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum. A private guide and driver look after every detail.
