Total Solar Eclipse 2027 4-Day Package
Cairo, Giza & the path of totality — 31 July to 3 August 2027
Total Solar Eclipse 2027: 4-Day Cairo, Giza & Eclipse Day Package
Witness the longest total solar eclipse of the century from Egypt on Monday 2 August 2027. Four days built around one unforgettable afternoon: explore the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Pyramids of Giza, Memphis and Saqqara, then travel south into the path of totality to watch more than six minutes of darkness at midday, and finish in Old Cairo. Sightseeing days are private, with your own vehicle and Egyptologist guide; the eclipse-day trip runs on a shared coach from Cairo. This itinerary is a starting point: your schedule is adjusted to your real arrival and departure times. Contact us on WhatsApp (+201064455175) to book or to tailor the days to your plans.
Early-Bird Offer: 35% OFF — Regular price $1,950, now just $1,268 per person. The discount gets smaller as eclipse day approaches and availability runs out.
Please Note: Sightseeing days are private, exclusively for your own group. The eclipse-day trip is a shared coach: we pick you up from your hotel, or take you by private car to a nearby coach meeting point, and you travel with other eclipse guests to our viewing site. Hotel accommodation and lunch are not included but can be added on request.
