Today marks the pinnacle of your journey — a rare and powerful celestial experience set against one of the most iconic backdrops in human history.

After an early breakfast, you will be transferred to the Temple of Karnak, one of the most sacred sites of ancient Egypt. As you walk among its towering columns and ancient sanctuaries, you’ll feel the timeless energy of a place that has witnessed millennia of sunrises — and today, it will witness a dramatic eclipse of the very sun it once revered.

As the partial eclipse begins at 10:40 AM, find your place within the temple grounds — perhaps near the Great Hypostyle Hall or the sacred lake — and prepare to witness an awe-inspiring transformation of the sky. At 12:02 PM, the world around you will pause as the total eclipse phase begins, lasting approximately 6 minutes and 22 seconds. At the peak, Karnak will fall under a surreal twilight, as shadow and light play over the colossal monuments of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu.

Following this unforgettable experience an Egyptian traditional lunch at local restaurant around Karnak temple.
