  • M

    Marina

    Asked on August 14th, 2026

    I am looking for an Itinerary who includesa Tour to the Solar Eclipse in Karnak on August 2, 2027. Do you have any itineraries that might work for what I'm looking for?

    Tour Details
    • Golden EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      Yes, absolutely. The tour you are currently inquiring about can be adapted to include the Total Solar Eclipse experience on August 2, 2027. We will specifically rearrange and coordinate the itinerary so that you are in Luxor at the correct time for the eclipse, while adapting the rest of the program around the Nile Cruise sailing schedule and making sure you still enjoy the other included highlights of the tour.

      Please note that the special Solar Eclipse arrangement will require an additional supplement of USD 1,500 per person on top of the regular tour price. This covers the special arrangements required to adapt and secure the program around this exceptional date.

      For 2 adults, the total eclipse supplement would therefore be USD 3,000 in addition to the regular tour price.

    • M

      Marina

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      So that my client can get an idea of the Tour itinerary, would it be possible for me to send them the itinerary you currently have for this tour, specifying that August 2nd is dedicated to the solar eclipse? Or do you already have an itinerary available that takes this event into consideration?

      I understand that an additional $1,500 USD should be added per person.

    • Golden EgyptOperator•Written August 2026

      Yes, you can book The Royal 9 Day Egypt Experience: Luxury 5 Star Cairo, GEM, Nile Cruise & Domestic Flights. Your clients will be able to enjoy the solar eclipse experience on August 2, 2027.

      However, the tour must have a July 28, 2027 start date in order to include the special solar eclipse arrangements.

      Once the booking is confirmed, we will add the additional $1,500 USD per person supplement for the solar eclipse experience.

      You can use the current itinerary of the tour to give your clients an idea of the trip, with the understanding that August 2 will be dedicated to the solar eclipse experience.

    • M

      Marina

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      I would like to know what is included in the additional $1,500 supplement for the solar eclipse experience; do you have a more detailed description of what is offered to clients on this tour for that price?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • Golden EgyptOperator•Written February 2026

      Yes, we can absolutely upgrade your Nile cruise to an ultra-luxurious 5 Star experience such as Historia Nile Cruise or one of the premium Oberoi lines. These cruises are considered among the highest-end options on the Nile, offering exceptional service, gourmet dining, spacious suites, elegant design, and a very exclusive atmosphere.

      Please note that cruises like Historia operate with limited cabins and are in very high demand due to their luxury standards and intimate setting.

      The upgrade to a cruise of this category would be an additional USD 2,000 per person on top of your current package price.

    Asked on November 12th, 2025

    Are the entrance fees to the sites included? Will there be a full time guide with the group?

    Tour Details
    • Golden EgyptOperator•Written November 2025

      The entrance fees to the mentioned sites and temples are not included in the package price — as stated in the exclusions section. These fees are to be paid directly on-site (by card), which gives you flexibility depending on which optional visits you decide to join. And yes, you will have a full-time professional Egyptologist guide accompanying the group throughout the tour. Your guide will be with you during all sightseeing days to provide historical explanations, assist with tickets, and make sure everything runs smoothly.
