Total Eclipse Tour 2027 Description

Join Inside Egypt for an extraordinary 7-day guided adventure combining ancient wonders, modern comfort, and the breathtaking spectacle of the 2027 Total Solar Eclipse. From exploring the Great Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings to relaxing on a luxury Nile cruise, this exclusive tour blends history, culture, and astronomy into one unforgettable experience.

Here is what you’ll get:

  • Total Solar Eclipse Viewing: Experience the longest eclipse of the 21st century (over 6 minutes of totality).
  • Exclusive Access: Private tours inside Egypt’s most famous sites, including the Pyramids of Giza, Great Pyramid of Khufu, Great Sphinx, and the splendid Grand Egyptian Museum.
  • Luxury Nile Cruise: Travel in style between Luxor and Aswan with 5-star amenities (optional).
  • Expert Guides: Learn from Egyptologists and eclipse specialists throughout your journey.
  • All-Inclusive Package: Transfers, accommodations, meals, and curated excursions covered.

Your 7-day Egypt tour then leads you to Luxor, a veritable treasure trove often hailed as the "world's greatest open-air museum," home to awe-inspiring temple complexes like Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. 

Explore the revered Valley of Kings, a UNESCO World Heritage Site housing the final resting places of pharaohs.

Beyond the enthralling total solar eclipse, this Egypt tour includes visits to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari and the enchanting Valley of the Queens. Back in Cairo, you’ll explore the Citadel of Salah el-Din with sweeping views of the city, then end your journey at the lively Khan El-Khalili Bazaar, where Cairo’s rich heritage fills the bustling marketplace.

Why See the 2027 Solar Eclipse on a 7-Day Tour in Egypt?

  • The longest eclipse you’ll ever see: On August 2, 2027, the sky over Luxor will go dark for 6 minutes 23 seconds — the longest total solar eclipse on land from 1991 to 2114. You’ll watch it from a private viewing site, handpicked for the best vantage point.
  • The kind of access tourists don’t get: Step inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu. Stand before the Sphinx without the crowds. These are doors most tours can’t open. Ours do.
  • Egypt’s history, decoded for you: Explore Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, and the Valley of the Queens with your personal Egyptologist. Not just what you see, but the stories behind it.
  • Luxury stitched into every detail: 5-star stays. Internal flights handled. A concierge smoothing every step. You focus on the eclipse — we handle the rest.
