On August 2, 2027, LUXOR, EGYPT—the ancient city of Thebes—will become the ultimate cosmic stage for a spectacular total solar eclipse.
At precisely 13:04 p.m., the shadow of a supermoon will sweep across Luxor, plunging the city into 6 minutes and 20 seconds of surreal twilight. As the sun’s corona blazes into view, you will experience the same breathtaking wonder that captivated the ancient Egyptians, who believed the heavens were divine.

World-class astrophysicists will break down the cosmic choreography behind this celestial phenomenon—why it happens and what a “supermoon” has to do with it. Egyptologists will take you on a time-traveling journey to uncover how ancient cultures revered the skies and how total solar eclipses shaped human history. Between sessions, you will explore legendary sites like the Great Pyramid of Giza and the mysterious Sphinx, with private space.
