Overview
This is the complete way to experience the total solar eclipse of 2 August 2027. Over nine unhurried days you follow the Nile from Cairo to Abu Simbel, timing your arrival in Luxor so that you stand among the great temples of Thebes at the exact moment the sun disappears.
The journey opens with the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum, continues with a four-night Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, and closes at the colossal rock temples of Abu Simbel. Throughout, a private Egyptologist, a personal driver and carefully chosen hotels and cruise ship make the trip as easy as it is memorable.
