See the Total Solar Eclipse 2027 in Egypt with Go Stargazing

Experience one of the most extraordinary astronomical events of the century on this 8-day Red Sea holiday in Egypt, culminating in the spectacular total solar eclipse of 2 August 2027.

Based at the beachfront Azur Giftun Resort in Hurghada, the tour combines a relaxing summer break with a dedicated excursion to Luxor, one of the world’s premier locations for viewing the eclipse.

Guests will enjoy comfortable full-board accommodation, expert-led astronomy sessions, and the opportunity to witness more than six minutes of totality during the longest total solar eclipse visible from land in the 21st century.

Adding to the experience, Go Stargazing astronomer Dr Sheila Kanani will be joining the tour, providing engaging talks, eclipse guidance, and opportunities to learn more about the science behind this rare celestial event.

This trip is particularly well suited to families seeking a summer seaside holiday. While Hurghada offers beaches, swimming pools, water sports, snorkelling, and Red Sea relaxation, the eclipse excursion and astronomy programme provide a unique highlight for anyone in the family with an interest in astronomy.

It is an ideal way to combine a traditional sunshine holiday with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the “eclipse of the century” alongside fellow sky enthusiasts and expert astronomers.
