Description
Join us for an unforgettable journey to witness one of the most extraordinary astronomical events of the century! On August 2, 2027, a total solar eclipse will sweep across Egypt, turning day into night as the Moon completely covers the Sun for over 6 minutes; one of the longest totalities on Earth this century. Set against the timeless backdrop of ancient temples and the Nile, our eclipse tours offer prime viewing opportunities in locations like Luxor, where the sky darkens and the sun’s corona shimmers above historic monuments. This rare celestial spectacle is perfect for astronomy enthusiasts, photographers, and curious travelers alike — an event that will stay with you long after the sky brightens again. Rates start from 4400 USD
