Join the world's most prestigious astronomy brand for an immersive, expert-hosted total solar eclipse experience at Luxor — 6+ minutes of totality with astrophysicists at your side and a curated Egypt journey around it.
What to expect
Arrive at a carefully selected Luxor observing field with professional solar telescopes already aligned; S&T astronomers brief the group on exactly what to watch for at each contact point. As totality hits, Baily's Beads, the diamond ring, and the chromosphere are called out in real time by scientists who have chased dozens of eclipses. A post-totality debrief with imagery captured on-site is followed by curated temple visits timed to avoid the crowds. Accommodation is in Luxor's finest five-star hotels throughout.
Good to know
The site-visit package (USD 3,850) suits cruise passengers who can join the observing event independently of the full tour. Nearest cruise ports: Safaga (~3.5 hrs) or Alexandria (~10 hrs by sleeper train — plan an overnight stay). Book the lecture package add-on for the richest intellectual context. Spaces sell out 18+ months ahead.
