A 14-day private odyssey combining the Pyramids of Giza, Abu Simbel, a luxury Nile cruise, and totality in Luxor — the definitive grand-tour framing of the most anticipated eclipse of the decade.
What to expect
Beginning in Cairo, your private Egyptologist guide takes you inside the Great Pyramid and across to the Solar Boat Museum — Egypt's own solar obsession framing what is to come. A luxury Nile dahabiya carries you south past Edfu and Kom Ombo to Luxor, arriving days before the eclipse to acclimatise and explore the Valley of the Kings without crowds. On August 2, a reserved Eclipse Travel observing platform inside or adjacent to Karnak Temple delivers over six minutes of totality. The shadow retreats; champagne is poured; the Nile glitters gold.
Good to know
At USD 12,832 pp, this is a complete land journey — cruise passengers should book as a pre- or post-cruise land extension, disembarking at Alexandria or Port Said and rejoining the ship thereafter. Eclipse Travel handles all logistics including private transfers and cloud-cover contingency plans. Book immediately — 2027 eclipse tours across Egypt are selling out rapidly.
