Total Solar Eclipse 2027 – Red Sea, Dendera & Abydos
28 July – 7 August 2027
El Quseir · Dendera · Assiut · Total Solar Eclipse · Abydos · El Quseir
Experience the Total Solar Eclipse of 2 August 2027 while combining the event with a relaxed Red Sea holiday and a journey into one of Egypt's less-visited regions.
Begin and end your journey on the Red Sea at Mövenpick El Quseir, with time to relax, swim and enjoy the coast. In between, travel into Upper Egypt and stay in Assiut, visiting the temples of Dendera and Abydos before experiencing totality from a specially organised desert observation location.
On eclipse day, the focus is entirely on the sky. Our team handles the transportation, permits and local logistics, allowing you to concentrate on the experience.
This journey deliberately avoids the classic Cairo–Luxor–Aswan circuit. Instead, it combines the Red Sea with Dendera, Abydos and Assiut — places that remain well beyond the usual Egyptian tourist route.
After the eclipse, return to the Red Sea for several more days to relax and enjoy the coast before departure.
11 days · 10 nights · 4 nights El Quseir · 3 nights Assiut · 3 nights El Quseir
A comfortable way to experience one of the most extraordinary astronomical events of our lifetime, viewed from a private observation site chosen specifically for the occasion — without turning the entire journey into an eclipse expedition.
THE EXPERIENCE
This is not a conventional Egypt sightseeing tour.
It combines:
🌊 7 nights on the Red Sea
🏛 Visit of Dendera
🏺 3 nights in Assiut
🏜 A specially organised desert observation experience
🌑 Total Solar Eclipse — 2 August 2027
🏛 Abydos
🌊 El Quseir
And most importantly:
A journey designed around an event that will not happen again in Egypt in this way.
And the timing offers another astronomical highlight.
Around 30–31 July, the Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids are both active. Under the dark Egyptian desert sky, you may see meteors and occasional bright fireballs alongside the Milky Way and the summer night sky.

Please note that international and domestic flights are not included in the quoted price. Airlines typically release their flight schedules and fares approximately one year in advance; therefore, flights for July - August 2027 will become available around September 2026.
Should you wish to receive an offer for international or domestic flights, we kindly ask you to complete the flight request form on our website. Once flight options become available, we will prepare and forward an offer for your review.
Please be aware that submitting the request form does not constitute a booking order. We will only proceed with a flight reservation upon receiving your explicit written approval.
Furthermore, please note that flights are an external service provided solely by the airline, and Dabuka does not have control over airline-related matters. Any delays, schedule changes, or baggage issues fall under the responsibility of the operating carrier. We therefore recommend obtaining appropriate travel insurance should you wish to be covered for such circumstances.
We are also happy to provide personal consultations by appointment to help you choose the observation location that best suits your preferences and ensure an optimal eclipse experience.
