Attention all eclipse chasers: Central Holidays unveiled an 11-day Egypt itinerary, enabling tour participants to witness the six-minute, total solar eclipse on Aug. 2, 2027

The itinerary, which will be guided by Egyptologists, includes a three-night stay in Cairo, a visit to the new Grand Egyptian Museum, located in close proximity to the Great Pyramids of Giza, and a seven-night Nile River cruise.

“A highlight of the journey is the exclusive Total Solar Eclipse viewing experience, complete with expert commentary and professionally arranged observation settings to ensure guests witness this rare cosmic event in comfort and style,” Central Holidays said.

Central Holidays added that the program also includes roundtrip domestic flights from Cairo to Aswan and the option to add an excursion to Abu Simbel.

“As part of its continued investment in Egypt and the Gulf region, Central Holidays is also highlighting the expanded strategic role of Mayye Osman, serving as Director of Regional Strategy – Egypt & Gulf Markets,” Central Holidays said.

“In this capacity, Osman works closely with Central Holidays’ product development, operations, and sales teams to design unique offerings like the Solar Eclipse program – all while enhancing the tools, training, and educational resources available to travel advisors,” the company added.
