On August 2nd, 2027, you will have the chance to witness the skies above Egypt hosting one of the most spectacular events of the century: a total solar eclipse lasting more than six minutes. Luxor, the ancient city of pharaohs and temples, lies directly in the path of totality. This extraordinary alignment of the sun and moon offers a rare wonder and the opportunity to see some of the world’s most breathtaking landmarks under the shadow of the moon.
