EGYPT…SOLAR ECLIPSE
July 29 - August 07, 2027
Led by Local Guides
On August 2, 2027, you will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the longest total solar eclipse for the next 87 years from Luxor, Egypt. Known historically as Thebes, this city was once the capital of ancient Egypt and is now celebrated as one of the world’s greatest open-air museums. Luxor is home to a plethora of spectacular temples, tombs, and monuments that testify to its rich historical legacy.
The climate in Luxor during August is characterized by extreme heat and arid conditions, dominated by the desert landscape. These conditions are ideal for eclipse viewing, as they significantly optimize the chances of clear skies. Our selected viewing location has been carefully chosen based on historical weather data for this date, ensuring that you will enjoy the best possible experience as the sun obscures the moon.
Luxor offers unique photography opportunities against the backdrop of its ancient structures, allowing enthusiasts to capture stunning images of the eclipse framed by iconic monuments. For those who prefer to immerse themselves in the awe of the phenomenon without the distraction of a camera, the historical significance and archaeological grandeur of Luxor provide a breathtaking setting.
Regardless of how you choose to witness this magnificent solar event, the experience promises to be unforgettable, set in a location steeped in history that enhances the magic of the eclipse.
