For the August 2, 2027, total solar eclipse—one of the longest of the century—skip the crowded viewing sites in Luxor. Instead, join a Bedouin-owned desert safari in Egypt’s otherworldly Black Desert, just south of Bahariya Oasis. Our exclusive 3-day, 2-night program includes private Cairo transfers, full-board organic meals, and a choice of eco-lodge or desert camping. Arrive August 1 to scout locations and set up astrophotography gear. On eclipse day, watch totality unfold against the majestic black volcanic mountains—without the tourist frenzy. Priced from €1000 / 56,000 EGP. Early bird booking closes Sept 1, 2026. Limited spots available.
