2 August 2027: over six minutes of totality above Luxor. I have lived here since 2003, and I have built four ways for you to be here for it. Choose the one that fits, then email me. I answer every message myself.

Update 24 October 2026: Planning your way to Luxor is becoming more difficult
The 2 August 2027 Total Solar Eclipse is still 9 months away, but the pressure on Luxor is already building. Accommodation prices are rising sharply, availability is disappearing, and I am hearing from travelers who have booked cruises or tours ending in Luxor around the eclipse but are now struggling to find somewhere to stay afterwards.
Flights are becoming another problem. Scheduled flights between Cairo, Luxor and Aswan are limited, and prices are rising rapidly. We have already chartered private aircraft for our eclipse travelers, so this is one problem you do not need to worry about.
I am also seeing people planning to arrive in Luxor without accommodation and hoping to find somewhere when they get there. Please don’t do this. Luxor in August is not somewhere you want to arrive without a confirmed bed, transport and a plan. You cannot be outdoors indefinitely in the heat!
My 2027 eclipse programmes begin and end in Cairo for a reason. I have planned the complete journey around the realities of getting to Luxor, staying there during the eclipse period and getting safely back out again.
If you are still putting your plans together, I recommend reading my latest update: Will You Still Be Able to Find Accommodation in Luxor for the 2027 Solar Eclipse?
