August 1, 2027
An introduction to your Egyptian adventure is the welcome from the ever-charming and competent guide at your Cairo hotel. The 8-day journey begins. Buckle up, for your first stop would be the Great Pyramids of Giza with their fantastic cartwheel silhouettes against the desert sky. The Sphinx stands in its awe-inspiring glory, staring out with an enigmatic gaze that has guarded the secrets for millennia.
The cradle of Egypt's pyramid legacy lies upon the Giza Plateau. Feel the grandeur of the Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, the feats of engineering that defy belief. The guide narrates their fascinating history-from purpose to age-while time itself seems to stand still for a moment, allowing you to be engulfed in majesty as you stand before the ancient giants.
Lunch will be at a restaurant before you continue on to the Egyptian Museum. Walk between mummies covered in gold, with eyes ever-watchful. Let the Egyptologist guide work his magic and decode the hieroglyphs about the mysteries surrounding Tutankhamun's tomb and Cleopatra's legendary beauty.
Transfer from the hotel to Cairo Airport for your flight to Luxor. With golden sands shimmering in the distance beneath the plane, anticipate the sun's heavenly defeat at moon's mercy with the longest solar eclipse of the century.
August 2, 2027
Calmly enjoy breakfast at your hotel and anticipate the celestial event of 2027 Solar Eclipse. Afterward, you shall be driven to Karnak Temple, whose walls have seen so much: the glorious times of its many pharaohs.
Here, under the great hypostyle and giant pylons, where the temples are dedicated to Amun-Ra, something worth seeing will happen that calls for the attention of the greatest works of these ancient walls. As the moon obscures the sun, twilight will color the world around you-birds, animals, and insects will be lost in shadows, and only the stars appear polished against the blue smear of daytime. The corona-will burn like a rim of fire against the silhouette of the moon.
Time will cease to exist for six minutes and twenty-three seconds during this overwhelming cosmic performance. Embrace the silence, feel a sense of cosmic oneness, and mark it in your soul. A rare being that will ever-after become the ultimate definition of awe.
Stepping out from the unearthly gleam of the eclipse, head into the splendor of the Luxor Temple, another architectural wonder glowing in the golden doting of Luxor's afternoon sun. Here your Egyptologist guide will expound on the stories that the hieroglyphs inscribed on the walls tell-pharaohs and gods, victories and celebrations.
Embark on a 4-night Nile River cruise from Luxor to Aswan.
August 3, 2027
After a lazy breakfast on board, you will make your way to the West Bank of Luxor. Your first stop is the Valley of the Kings, a site where pharaohs lie in gilded coffins, their stories engraved in hieroglyphs on eternal walls. Your Egyptologist guide, a modern-day interpreter of these celestial dreams, will reveal to you tales of these long-gone kings whose conquests and aspirations have found an embrace in the Valley.
Soon after, climb to the terraces of Hatshepsut’s Temple, a stunning architectural opera within the cliff. While basking in the warmth of the desert sun, imagine the "Female Pharaoh" standing there while she defied all conventions, ruling with intellect and grace. Let your eyes wander over the vast expanse that lay before her, and allow the whispers of her reign to carry you away through the ages.
Find shade among the Colossi of Memnon as the sun climbs high in the sky, those giant watchmen of ancient Thebes. From here, return to your Nile cruise to set sail for Edfu through the Lock of Esna and stay overnight in Edfu.
Optional Tour: Sunrise Hot Air Ballooning over Luxor.
August 4, 2027
Embark on a captivating horse-drawn carriage journey across sun-beaten streets in Edfu to visit the Temple of Horus. A marvel of the Greco-Roman era and the best-preserved temple in Egypt. Experience the height of pylons and details of reliefs from Horus Temple along with understanding the enigmatic power of the falcon deity.
From the carriage you will return to your Nile cruise for continuing the voyage to Kom Ombo. The singular complex will charm you with its sacred structure because it serves both Sobek whose divine presence is in the form of a colossal crocodile and the celestial falcon Horus. Discover divine temple narratives about Sobek and expand knowledge about crocodile worship at the mesmerizing Crocodile Museum located nearby
Under the descending sun the ship navigates gently towards Aswan while long shadows illuminate the historic terrains. This southern metropolitan area draws people with a mix of excitement about its upcoming discoveries.
August 5, 2027
Be prepared to do amazing time travel on a 3.5-hour drive through bright sunlight and desert scenery. This brings you to Abu Simbel, the biggest temples ever carved from the sandstone cliffs.
Imagine the giant statues of Pharaoh Ramesses II, whose faces have known no change for thousands of years. Enter the temple and step back into a time when the bright hieroglyphs sang the tales of gods and pharaohs. Enjoy the cool, cavernous halls filled with bright reliefs showing epic battles and divine offerings.
This is not only a visit to a temple; this is historical travel, where one would be able to stand where great rulers once strode. The measure of humility such wonders-in-masonry can inspire in the human mind is best appreciated when one gazes upon them.
Subsequent to the Abu Simbel Magic, this beautiful ride will take you back to your cozy cruise ship, leaving you with many great memories forever.
Optional Tour: Nubian Village Tour.
August 6, 2027
Fuel yourself up with a hearty breakfast and then strap yourself in for an adventure at Aswan. First stop will be the gigantic High Dam, a feat of modern engineering that has brought the Nile's floods under control and light into Egypt. Stand silently, awestruck, at the sheer scale of it all, imagining the engineering feat reshaping a landscape.
Next, you plunge down ancient ingenuity, the Unfinished Obelisk. Colossal granite remnant frozen in time. Skilled artisans crafting this monolith destined to be a glory beyond that of a monument, abandoned for some reason lost to history.
From here, you have a beautiful motorboat ride through the sparkling Nile water, and it takes you to the wonderful Temple of Philae, a jewel from the Ptolemaic period and originally threatened by the inundations of the High Dam but proud to have been relocated by UNESCO to higher ground. Admire all those beautiful carvings and understand that good sounds coming from all the halls are the whispers of pharaohs.
Relish your lunch in a local restaurant, and then take wing from Aswan to Cairo for the next leg of your thrilling journey with the eight-day Solar Eclipse Tours 2027 package with Nile cruise. Transfer from Cairo Airport to the hotel.
