A once-in-a-lifetime sky

Your trip for the 2027 total solar eclipse

On 2 August 2027, the Moon's shadow crosses Luxor in a total solar eclipse — the longest totality of the 21st century over land. Egypt sits directly in the path, and these tours are built specifically around it: real viewing time on eclipse day, paired with Cairo, the Nile and Egypt's temples so the rest of the trip is just as memorable.

Ways to see it

Watch from the deck of a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, from a traditional Dahabiya sailing yacht, or from Cairo with a dedicated trip down to the path of totality — the packages below cover each option, from 7 to 12 days.

Why book this early

Hotels and cruise cabins along the eclipse path sell out years in advance for an event like this. Booking now secures your dates before availability tightens closer to August 2027.

Egypto Tours is operated by Daily Pyramids Tours, a licensed Egyptian company rated 5.0 on TripAdvisor. You travel with in-house Egyptologist guides, vetted drivers and 24/7 on-trip support — real people who live here, not a faceless booking platform.

My husband and I booked a private tour with Daily Pyramids Tours. Everything was exactly as promised! The price was fair, the organisation was excellent and the entire experience was smooth and stress-free. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about the history and culture — always happy to answer our questions. What stood out most was his honesty and professionalism; we never felt pressured into anything.

Know before you go

When to go

The best time to visit Egypt

Egypt is a year-round destination, but the sweet spot for the Nile and sightseeing is the cooler season — sunny days without the summer heat.

  • Oct – Apr (peak): mild, sunny days — ideal for the Nile & temples.
  • May – Sep: hot but great value and fewer crowds.
  • Hot-air balloon rides over Luxor are best at sunrise.
  • The 2027 total solar eclipse is a once-in-a-lifetime window.
Entry

Visa & entry made simple

Most travelers enter Egypt easily with a visa on arrival or an e-Visa — and we'll advise on exactly what your nationality needs.

  • Visa on arrival or e-Visa for most nationalities.
  • Passport valid for at least 6 months.
  • We share up-to-date requirements for your country.
  • Airport meet-and-greet on every package.
Packing

What to pack for Egypt

Think light, breathable and modest — with a few layers for cool Nile evenings and temple visits.

  • Light, breathable clothes & modest layers for sites.
  • Sunhat, sunglasses & high-SPF sunscreen.
  • Comfortable walking shoes for temples.
  • A light jacket for cool evenings on the Nile.
