The 2027 Total Solar Eclipse is a once-in-a-lifetime reason to experience Egypt—but you shouldn’t have to buy an expensive hotel, flight, or cruise package just to be there.
So we created a different way to travel.
You book your own flights and accommodation. We take care of the Egypt experience.
From Cairo and the Pyramids to the ancient temples of Luxor, from the Nile to the moment the Moon completely covers the Sun, our team handles the guiding, transportation, sightseeing, eclipse-day logistics, and local support that make your journey effortless.
This is not a traditional package tour.
It is a professionally organized Egypt experience built around the eclipse, giving you the freedom to travel your way while knowing that the most important details are in experienced local hands.
You choose how you get to Egypt.
You choose where you stay.
We take care of everything on the ground.
Cairo. Luxor. Ancient Egypt. The Nile. Totality.
Community & Culture
Experience Egypt beyond the monuments through genuine cultural exchanges that celebrate local traditions, craftsmanship, and hospitality.

-Day 2
Saturday, July 31) – Saqqara / Giza Plateau / Private Entry to the Great Pyramid
After an orientation with our representatives, you visit the ancient necropolis of Saqqara, which, according to Dr. Hawass, is one of the most impressive places on Earth and the “birthplace of architecture.” Admire the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest pyramid in Egypt, built 4,700 years ago by the legendary architect Imhotep. You also visit the elaborately decorated Tomb of Mereruka and the Pyramid of Teti, which boasts one of the oldest pyramid texts ever discovered. Wrap up your sightseeing in Saqqara with a visit to the Imhotep Museum.

-Day 4
(Monday, August 2) - EXCLUSIVE VIEWING OF THE ECLIPSE OF THE CENTURY / Luxor Temple in the Evening
Get ready for an experience that words can scarcely capture. Today, as the moon blocks out the sun’s light for a full 6 minutes and 22 seconds, you will be among the privileged few to witness this celestial phenomenon it’s time to explore the magnificent Luxor Temple. It was built over hundreds of years by New Kingdom pharaohs including Tutankhamun and Ramses II. To this day the temple is one of the greatest reflections of the pharaohs’ power and supremacy.
-Day 5

Start the day by visiting Dendera where you explore a temple dedicated to the goddess Hathor. This is one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Its colossal columns and spectacular ceilings covered with vibrant and colorful paintings set it apart from other temples.
Next, discover Abydos Temple, also known as the Temple of Seti I, who began its construction. The temple is built of white limestone and, artistically, represents an attempt to restore the old ways after the heresies of Akhenaten. It was once the holiest site in the land and the burial place for the first kings of unified Egypt.

"From the very beginning, communication with Nahla was easy and responsive through WhatsApp, making planning straightforward and stress free.
I have travelled to over 90 countries, and I can genuinely say Nahla helped unlock the magic of Egypt for us in a unique way other guide could not achieve. She brought the country to life not only through her knowledge of ancient Egyptian history, but also through her openness in discussing modern Egyptian culture, food, society, and politics. No question was ever too much, and every conversation felt natural and engaging."

After receiving several “sorry, we can't do that” from other tour guides — for my very ambitious one-day itinerary, I was so lucky to connect with Nahla. Not only did she say yes, but she also helped me see everything on my list in a single (very long!) day.
She is professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and most importantly, I felt completely safe traveling with her and her excellent driver as a solo female traveler. I cannot recommend Nahla enough for anyone looking for a fully customizable, seamless, and memorable experience.
Thank you, Nahla!
