Some trips are timed around a place. These are timed around a moment.

On 2 August 2027 the path of a total solar eclipse crosses Upper Egypt, and Luxor sits close to the centre line - one of the finest places on Earth to stand for it. The tours in this section are built around that morning, and pair it with the temples, tombs and Nile cruising that bring people to Egypt in the first place.

Choose from short breaks that fly in for the eclipse itself, longer journeys that continue south through Edfu, Kom Ombo and Abu Simbel, or itineraries that finish with a few days on the Red Sea. Every departure runs with a private Egyptologist guide.
