A proposed journey through Egypt
Follow a possible route from your Cairo arrival and Giza discovery to your eclipse destination in Luxor.
01 Cairo / Arrive & settle in
Ease into Egypt with an arranged airport transfer, time to recover and a stay chosen around your comfort. Leave room for museums and the Cairo you want to discover.

02 Giza / The ancient world
Explore the pyramids and Sphinx with a guide, then return to Cairo at your own pace. Giza is part of your Cairo stay, with time for questions, viewpoints and a quieter afternoon.

03 Luxor / Your eclipse destination
Travel south by domestic air, or compare sleeper rail if it fits your route. Arrive with time to settle in, explore ancient Thebes and prepare for the August 2, 2027 eclipse.

Your dates, pace and transport are tailored during planning. Return connections through Cairo and any Jordan extension depend on confirmed schedules. Viewing access and weather require their own preparation; no travel or eclipse visibility is guaranteed.

Your personal planning contact
I’m Samuel Caruso, and I’m planning my own Egypt journey around the 2027 eclipse. Eclipse Travels grew from the same questions you may be asking: where to stay, how to get between cities, and how to make the most of a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
We work together on a route that fits your party. I compare supplier options, explain the tradeoffs and coordinate your itinerary and booking sequence. Your written proposal defines the planning scope before payment. An escorted trip or my personal presence is not included unless expressly agreed.
