Description
Witness the 2027 total solar eclipse in Luxor on a guided tour from Hurghada. Visit the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Karnak Temple, and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.
Begin with an early private pickup from your hotel in Hurghada and travel comfortably by private, air-conditioned vehicle to Luxor. Meet your Egyptologist guide and begin exploring the ancient wonders of this legendary city.
Cross to Luxor’s West Bank and visit the Valley of the Kings, where you can enter selected royal tombs included with the standard admission ticket. Continue to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, built dramatically beneath the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, then stop at the Colossi of Memnon while your guide introduces you to the ancient Egyptians’ fascinating connection with the Sun and astronomy.
Next, head to a specially arranged outdoor viewing area with clear access to the sky. Arrive well before the eclipse and settle in as the partial phases gradually unfold. Watch as the Moon slowly covers the Sun until Luxor reaches totality, when the Sun is completely obscured for approximately 6 minutes and 22 seconds near maximum eclipse.
After experiencing this extraordinary celestial event, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before continuing your exploration of ancient Luxor.
Visit Karnak Temple, one of Egypt’s most impressive ancient temple complexes, and discover its connections with Amun-Ra, solar symbolism, and ancient astronomical beliefs.
After an unforgettable day combining ancient Egyptian history, archaeology, and the spectacular 2027 total solar eclipse, relax on your return journey to Hurghada and enjoy a comfortable drop-off at your hotel.
