The highlight of your journey
Your Eclipse Day: Comfort Under a Darkened Sky
On Monday, 2 August 2027, Luxor sits close to the centre line of the eclipse path and will see about 6 minutes and 22 seconds of totality, one of the longest total eclipses of the century. Here is how you will experience it.
Outside
40°C+
Midday in Luxor in early August is one of the hottest places on Earth. Most eclipse watchers will stand for nearly three hours in direct sun, with no shade and little to drink.
Your 360° glass lounge
Air-conditioned
You watch the entire event, first contact to last, from a reserved seat inside the cool 360° Panoramic Glass Lounge, wearing ISO 12312-2 & CE certified eclipse glasses, with a lounge bar and a special lunch served while you watch.

Exclusive VIP lecture
A Private Lecture by a Distinguished Egyptologist & Archaeologist
Before the Moon begins to cover the Sun, one of Egypt's most respected Egyptologists and archaeologists joins our group for a private lecture. Discover how the ancient Egyptians revered the Sun god Ra, how the sky shaped their temples and calendar, and what an eclipse over Thebes would have meant to the people who built Karnak and the Valley of the Kings. A rare, intimate encounter reserved exclusively for our guests.
