This holiday includes hotel accommodation with breakfast (B&B) throughout, without a Nile cruise. Domestic flights and organised transfers connect the journey. Hotels include breakfast.
Demand in Luxor for the eclipse is exceptional. We confirm your final day-by-day programme in writing at the time of booking.
Monday 2 August 2027 is set aside for the total solar eclipse in Luxor, giving you time to settle in and enjoy the changing light.
Watch the eclipse at your Luxor hotel with your group, shared with other hotel guests. Exclusive use is not included.
Eclipse glasses, a viewing briefing and drinking water are included. You watch where you are staying, so you can step inside between phases. There are no temple visits or flights to fit around the eclipse.
Eclipse day is kept deliberately light, with no temple visits or flights scheduled around the viewing programme. This gives the group time to arrive early, settle in comfortably and experience the partial phases leading into totality without rushing.
Clear skies cannot be guaranteed.

Our experience with Nile Empire was excellent from start to finish. Soliman helped us redesign our Egypt trip on very short notice and customized everything around our schedule, including internal flights, hotels, and a Nile cruise. We loved that all sightseeing tours were private, giving us flexibility throughout the trip. The guides, drivers, and overall organization were outstanding, and we never had to worry about anything during our stay in Egypt.
