The total solar eclipse takes place on 2 August 2027, with the path of totality passing directly over Luxor and southern Egypt. Luxor sits close to the centre line, offering up to roughly six minutes of totality.

Why is Luxor one of the best places to see the 2027 eclipse?

Luxor combines an exceptionally long totality with famously clear early-August skies and the dramatic backdrop of ancient temples. It is one of the most anticipated eclipse-viewing locations in the world.

Do your eclipse tours include safe viewing?

Yes. Every Elevana Tours eclipse package includes a dedicated viewing session at a carefully chosen open site, with certified solar-safe glasses provided for the partial phases of the eclipse.

How far in advance should I book an eclipse tour?

Demand for August 2027 is exceptionally high and hotels and cruises are limited, so we strongly recommend booking well ahead to secure your place. Early booking also locks in the best rates.

Can I combine the eclipse with a Nile cruise or the Pyramids?

Yes — our eclipse packages pair the viewing with the Pyramids of Giza, Nile cruises and the temples of Luxor and Aswan. You can choose a short break or a longer grand tour.
