When is the total solar eclipse in Luxor?
The eclipse takes place on Monday, August 2, 2027. Your final itinerary should position you in the Luxor area before the event date.

Yes. Several routes can combine Cairo, Luxor and the eclipse with a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, subject to sailing schedules and availability.
Are private eclipse tours available?
Yes. Private arrangements can be prepared for couples, families, photographers, astronomy groups and associations, subject to available services.
Is August very hot in Luxor?
Yes. August is extremely hot, so itineraries should use early starts, air-conditioned transport, suitable rest periods, hydration planning and realistic sightseeing schedules.
Are eclipse glasses included?
Any included safety equipment will be stated in the written proposal. Travelers should only use certified solar-viewing protection and follow the official safety instructions provided for the event.
Can the route be customized?
Yes. Dates, hotel category, room setup, guide language, cruise, Red Sea extension and daily pace can usually be adjusted, while the August 2 eclipse date remains fixed.
