Join one of the most extraordinary events of the decade and witness the Total Solar Eclipse on 2 August 2027 from an exceptional viewing location. Luxor is recognised as one of the premier spots globally to observe this awe-inspiring spectacle.

Your memorable journey commences with a dawn departure from Hurghada, heading towards Luxor. Begin your day at the magnificent Luxor Temple, a standout amongst Ancient Egypt’s architectural wonders.

Proceed to the Valley of the Kings and delve into three royal tombs, uncover the intriguing history and beliefs surrounding the Pharaohs and their eternal journey. The experience culminates with a visit to the spectacular Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, constructed for the influential female Pharaoh Hatshepsut beneath the dramatic limestone cliffs of Deir El Bahari.
