​Sunday August 1. LUXOR. You will join us in Luxor where we will enjoy the inimitable splendor of the Luxor and Karnak Temples. The vehicle of our Adventure will be a private luxury yacht, called in Egypt a Dahabya. Since you will be joining in with our Adventure group already in Luxor, we will make arrangements to pick you up at the Luxor airport to join us. Because Luxor will be so crowded, we will determine later the best positioning of our yacht for the optimum eclipse viewing experience!

Monday August 2. ECLIPSE! This is the big day. You can start it with a hot air balloon ride early in the morning if you're daring and want to pack your day with sky events! Then enjoy the cruise luxuries as we gather ourselves for this magical natural eclipse experience! After such a powerful natural immersion, it's time to relax and enjoy hanging out on the sun deck, watching the ancient pastoral scenes along the timeless Nile, appreciating how wonderful the sun can be when it's not hidden! (Very few clouds in Egypt, and only once in a century grand eclipses!)
