SIX MINUTES, SIX THOUSAND YEARS An Eclipse Expedition Through Egypt's Nile Valley and Sahara
Cairo – Assiut – Desert Eclipse Camp – Cairo
31 July – 9 August 2027 | 9 nights / 10 days
OVERVIEW
Six minutes and twenty-three seconds — that is how long the sky over Upper Egypt will turn to night on 2 August 2027, one of the longest total solar eclipses of the century. This journey puts you right on its path of totality, and builds an unforgettable Egyptian adventure around it.
We combine the energy of Cairo with the quiet, authentic city of Assiut on the Nile, before heading deep into Egypt's Western Desert for the celestial main event — and for two nights of glamping under some of the darkest skies on Earth.
After arriving in Cairo, the journey follows the Nile Valley south to Assiut, our base while we prepare for eclipse day. When the moment arrives, nothing else matters: no sightseeing, no long transfers — just an open sky and six extraordinary minutes.
Once the eclipse has passed, we turn toward the desert: two nights of glamping, a night at Star Camp among the White and Black Deserts, and a final, easier stretch back in Cairo's leafy Maadi district before departure.

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.
