What to expect

On 2nd August 2027, you'll have the opportunity to witness one of nature's most awe-inspiring spectacles from the mesmerising Siwa Oasis—one of the globe's prime spots for experiencing a total solar eclipse.

You'll embark on an adventure across Egypt's majestic Western Desert to the legendary Siwa Oasis, celebrated for its verdant palm groves, age-old traditions and striking desert vistas. You'll pay a visit to the Mountain of the Dead, delve into its ancient tombs and soak up the genuine ambience of this secluded oasis through its local crafts and distinctive culture.

As daylight abruptly dims, you'll observe the Sun's radiant corona during an extraordinary period of totality—a rare and memorable spectacle.

Following a leisurely lunch, you'll explore Siwa's renowned salt lakes, where the exceptionally high salt concentration allows you to float effortlessly on the crystal-like water. Remember to pack your swimwear and towel if you fancy indulging in this singular experience.

You'll proceed to the ruins of the Temple of the Oracle of Amun, famously sought out by Alexander the Great.

Lastly, you'll unwind on your return journey through the Western Desert, taking with you indelible memories of a day that blends a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event with the history, culture and natural wonders of Siwa.
