How long does totality last on the Luxor eclipse tour?

Totality at maximum lasts 6 minutes and 23 seconds on 2 August 2027, and maximum eclipse over Luxor is at 13:05 local time.

Why does the tour stay in Luxor rather than Cairo?

Cairo is outside the path of totality and sees only a partial eclipse, with no darkness and no corona. Luxor is inside the path and close to the point of greatest duration.

Is eye protection provided?

Yes. Certified eclipse filters are provided for every guest. During the partial phases the sun must never be viewed without them. Only during totality itself, when the disc is fully covered, is direct viewing safe.

What does the 7-day eclipse tour include?

Six nights at The Nile Ritz-Carlton Cairo, aboard the MS Le Fayan in Luxor and at the Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis. It also includes a reserved private viewing site, after-hours access inside the Great Pyramid, the Grand Egyptian Museum, domestic flights, a private Egyptologist and eclipse specialist, and all entrance fees listed in the itinerary.
