Egypt 2027 — Total Solar Eclipse & Western Desert Expedition
Cairo · Assiut · Total Solar Eclipse · Western Desert · Kharga · Cairo
31 July – 10 August 2027 | 10 nights / 11 days
Ten nights. One sky-darkening moment. And a stretch of desert most travellers never reach.
OVERVIEW
For eleven days, this journey moves between two extremes: the sudden, total darkness of an eclipsed sun over open desert, and the quiet comfort of Nile-side hotels and world-class museums.
It begins in Cairo, continues south to Assiut, and reaches its defining moment on 2 August 2027, when the Total Solar Eclipse is observed from the Dabuka Desert Observation Camp — a site chosen specifically for its uninterrupted view, far from any city lights or crowds.
What follows is not a quick trip home, but an extended expedition deeper into the Western Desert: nights spent camping beneath a sky untouched by light pollution, and days exploring Jara Cave, the dunes of Abu Mukharraq and Dakhla, and the remote Abu Jarrah and Shawshaw Mountain areas — landscapes far removed from Egypt's usual tourist routes.
The pace softens in Kharga Oasis, where a hotel pool and a slower rhythm mark the return to comfort, before the final days bring travellers back to Cairo for the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Pyramids of Giza — a fitting close to a journey that spans both the cosmic and the ancient.

FLIGHTS
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.
PERSONAL CONSULTATION
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.
