Description
Follow the Nile from Cairo to Aswan and Luxor on this 7-day eclipse adventure. On 2 August 2027, one of the longest total solar eclipses of the century sweeps across southern Egypt, with the path of totality passing directly over Luxor and offering up to roughly six minutes of daytime darkness — a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle above the land of the pharaohs. View the eclipse from the Nile Valley and explore Philae, Karnak, the Valley of the Kings and a scenic Nile cruise.
