10 Day Nile Cruise Tour for Egypt Solar Eclipse 2027

Arrive at Cairo International Airport. Meet the Egypt Online Tour representative after immigration and baggage collection. Transfer by private air-conditioned vehicle to your hotel.

Your pickup follows your confirmed flight details. Airport procedures and baggage collection can affect the final exit time.

First-time visitors can prepare with our Visiting Egypt for the First Time guide.

Meet your Egyptologist guide after breakfast. Begin at the Giza Plateau to see the Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, followed by the Great Sphinx.

Later, continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, then return to your hotel.

Keeping Giza and the museum on the same day reduces unnecessary travel across Cairo.

Explore Cairo before your domestic flight to Aswan.

The confirmed Cairo-to-Aswan flight controls the final sightseeing order. Your final itinerary will show the exact sequence before travel.

The day before Luxor Eclipse 2027 stays lighter by design.

Spend the morning resting at the hotel or enjoying free time beside the Nile. In the afternoon, visit a Nubian Village as included in the itinerary.

Before the evening ends, confirm the next day’s pickup time, luggage arrangements, and viewing instructions with your tour representative.

Today follows the fixed astronomical event.

Luxor Solar Eclipse 2027

Luxor is expected to experience about 6 minutes and 22 seconds of totality, depending on the final viewing location.

The program plans eclipse viewing in the Luxor area, subject to final written confirmation of the viewing site and event access.

Normal temple admission does not automatically include special-event access. Your final booking must confirm the viewing area, meeting point, road-transfer plan, entry arrangements, and operating rules.

Confirm whether certified eclipse viewers are included. Ordinary sunglasses do not provide safe solar viewing.

When timing allows after the eclipse, visit Luxor Temple before boarding the four-night Nile cruise.

For more context about Luxor’s ancient ceremonial route, read How to Visit the Avenue of Sphinxes in Luxor.

The Egypt Eclipse Nile Cruise begins its river section after the eclipse day.

After breakfast, visit Luxor’s West Bank:

• Valley of the Kings
• Temple of Hatshepsut
• Colossi of Memnon

Tomb access can change. If you want a specific tomb, confirm its ticket status before travel. Our guide to the Best Tombs to Visit in the Valley of the Kings can help you compare options.

Return to the cruise after sightseeing. The vessel sails through Esna Lock toward Edfu.

A sunrise hot-air-balloon ride is optional and requires separate written confirmation.

The Luxor Eclipse Nile Cruise uses sailing time between the day’s two temple visits.

After breakfast, travel by horse-drawn carriage to Edfu Temple. Return to the cruise, then sail to Kom Ombo.

Later, visit Kom Ombo Temple and the Crocodile Museum. Continue sailing toward Aswan.

Compare this route with our Luxor and Aswan Nile Cruise.

Abu Simbel needs a full day. The itinerary does not combine it with another major archaeological visit.

• Leave Aswan early by private vehicle
• Travel south to Abu Simbel
• Visit the temples of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari
• Return to Aswan
• Rejoin the Nile cruise

The road journey takes time, so the schedule stays focused on Abu Simbel.

For another route through the same southern cities, see our 6 Days Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel Package.

Disembark after breakfast and visit Aswan’s main sites.

1. Aswan High Dam
2. Unfinished Obelisk
3. Philae Temple by motorboat

After lunch, transfer to Aswan Airport for your domestic flight to Cairo. Meet the representative on arrival and transfer to your hotel.

The Aswan-to-Cairo flight must allow enough time for the day’s visits. Your confirmed itinerary will show the final flight and sightseeing sequence together.

For a shorter cruise route, compare our 6 Days Cairo and Nile Cruise Tour Package.

Have breakfast and check out of the hotel. Meet your representative at the confirmed pickup time and transfer to Cairo International Airport.

Your airport transfer follows your international flight schedule.
