ECLIPSE Adventure of your Life!

On August 2, 2027, LUXOR, EGYPT—the ancient city of Thebes—will become the ultimate cosmic stage for a spectacular total solar eclipse.

At precisely 13:04 p.m., the shadow of a supermoon will sweep across Luxor, plunging the city into 6 minutes and 20 seconds of surreal twilight.

As the sun’s corona blazes into view, you will experience the same breathtaking wonder that captivated the ancient Egyptians, who believed the heavens were divine.

Your adventure begins in Cairo, where three electrifying days await you. Join a buzzing international crowd as we delve into the science, history, and magic of eclipses.

Then, it's off to Luxor for the grand finale! Here, under the twilight sky during the eclipse, you will witness the magic of totality as the moon's shadow briefly transforms day into night in the longest totality on land until 2114!
