About this collection

What you will find here

Solar Eclipse 2027 covers 5 private itineraries across Luxor, Cairo, Dahab and Aswan. Every trip is run for your group alone: your own guide, your own vehicle, and the entrance fees, transfers and internal travel arranged before you land.

They run from 4 – 12 days, starting at $1,100 per person in a double room — and any of them can be reshaped into a tailor-made trip at no extra cost.

Departures built around the total solar eclipse of 2 August 2027, which crosses Luxor — these fill much earlier than a normal season.
