Cairo and Luxor Egypt Solar Eclipse Tour 2027 for 5 Day

Your Egypt trip will begin as soon as our friendly, well-informed guide meets you at your hotel in Cairo. You will have the opportunity to witness one of the greatest wonders in the world: the Great Pyramids of Giza, as they once more loom over the desert with their magnificent silhouettes. Your Egypt solar eclipse tour will further take you in wonder over the Great Sphinx and its mysterious gaze-keeping secrets of hundreds of centuries. This location on the Giza Plateau evokes the historical significance of Egypt's pyramid phenomenon. Explore the greatness of the Great Pyramids Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure grand, colossal engineering feats beyond imagination.

You will head south to Saqqara, the house of Egypt's most ancient burial site discovered so far, as you will explore the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the first prototype of the famous pyramids still to come. Taste some great food at a quaint little local restaurant after such a wonderful morning of antiquities, and then head to Cairo airport to catch the flight to Luxor, the legendary city of Kings, to enjoy a divine spectacle unmatched by anything else.

As interest in the solar eclipse in 2027 grows, enjoy breakfast at your hotel to begin the day. Head to the Karnak Temple where the astronomical event is the temple is regarded with the mystery of old Egypt. Brace yourself for a nature event that is much greater than these ancient walls. That majestic moment when the moon slowly takes the sun will change the surroundings in front of you into a surreal cloth of crepuscular hues. Stars will show from behind the day’s sky blue and for 6 minutes and 23 seconds of epic sight, the corona, a mystical aurora of flames, will shine around the shadow of the moon.

Proceed to visit another magnificent site included in your Egypt tour, the Luxor Temple. This part of Luxor is usually lit by the sun, allowing it to be an architectural masterpiece that glows nearly golden during the afternoon. Your Egyptologist guide will narrate the incredible stories of pharaohs, gods, triumphs, and festivities that the temple’s hieroglyphs dress. Before returning to your hotel in Luxor, relish a meal at one of the nearby restaurants, cherishing the remarkable experiences you accumulated.       

Start your day by enjoying a breakfast in your hotel, preparing your palate for the feast yet to come, and taking a coach drawn by the desert wind that will carry you across the Nile to the western bank of Luxor, a place where time whispers secrets amidst ancient sands.

Visit the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs rest in opulent tombs with hieroglyphics preserving their legacies on eternal walls. Your Egyptologist guide is a modern-day decoder of such celestial dreams. 

Enter the terraces of  Hatshepsut Temple, a cliffside orchestra of architecture. Standing where the so-called "Female Pharaoh" defied all social norms of her era and ruled with grace and wisdom, let the desert sun caress your skin. At noon, seek respites under the shade of the Colossi of Memnon, massive guardians at the entrance of ancient Thebes.  

Spend your time having a delicious lunch at a neighborhood restaurant while experiencing real Egypt before being driven to Luxor Airport in time for your flight to Cairo. 

A heavenly breakfast is waiting for you at the hotel; then, go out into the living tapestry of Cairo. The Egyptian Museum is first on this itinerary; it is a place where you can stand in awe in front of all its treasures. Walk among gilded mummies, who will always be watching you. Your Egyptologist guide will reveal all the secrets of Tutankhamun's tomb and Cleopatra's mythical charm.

After this, go on to the commanding heights of the Saladin Citadel, which was the last fortress so far standing, and tell the story of all the brave battles and whispered intrigue within. Stand where sultans have ruled before you; take in the far-reaching horizon of Cairo, bustling streets, and ancient minarets sprawled below you.   

Proceed to Khan El-Khalili after enjoying a good lunch at a local restaurant, and then get absorbed in the rhythmic pulse of the city. You will then be taken to Cairo Airport for your final journey.
