Beschrijving
Ga mee op onze premium 7-daagse Egyptische Zonsverduistering Tour onder begeleiding van een professionele archeoloog om op 2 augustus 2027 in de schaduw van de Maan te staan boven de Karnak Tempel. Om 13:02 lokale tijd zal de woestijnhemel boven Luxor midden op de dag verduisteren, sterren zullen verschijnen en de temperaturen zullen dalen. Gedurende een adembenemende 6 minuten en 23 seconden—de langste totale zonsverduistering van de eeuw—zal de stralende corona van de Zon bloeien boven de oude wereld, wat een zeldzaam moment biedt dat een leven verdeelt in een voor en een na.
Dit volledig begeleide avontuur combineert dit historische hemelse wonder perfect met de meest iconische schatten van Egypte. Je bucketlist-reis begint in Caïro, waar je de monumentale Piramides van Gizeh, de enigmatische Sfinx en de vesting Citadel van Saladin verkent, voordat je naar Luxor vliegt om de mystieke, cryptische Vallei der Koningen, de majestueuze Tempel van Hatshepsut, de verlichte Luxor Tempel en de wachter Kolossen van Memnon te ontdekken. Het kroonjuweel arriveert wanneer je samen met je expertteam bij de kolossale Karnak Tempel staat om de maximale totaliteit te aanschouwen vanaf het ultieme uitkijkpunt op Aarde.
Sluit je buitengewone expeditie af door terug te keren naar Caïro om het futuristische Grote Egyptische Museum, het voorouderlijke Saqqara-complex en de revolutionaire Piramides van Dahshour te bezoeken.

We had the best guide ever, Ashraf! He is super skilled with a big heart. We became friends. I could definitely recommend Ashraf and the guided travels he does!
Wow my time in Egypt was beyond and it would never have been as good without my guide. I’m beyond grateful for his effort and all the energy he spent making my tips once in a lifetime. I know I’ll be back one day, and I look forward to see people I now call my friends.
We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada.
Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert!
The overnight stays were all planned in great detail.
It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days!
A huge thank you to Akram!
Great service. We had a wonderful time.
Our guide Abdel Salam was very kind, spoke excellent English and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We had a private AC car.
Visited most of the main sites in Cairo over two days.
Would highly recommend.
We went in the Safari and Paradise Island boat trip. Both were very well organised, great activities and the transfer made by driver was on time!I recommend especially the Paradise Island trip! The views on the island are amazing and the boat trip until there has such grest service on the boat (snorkeling, lunch, drinks).
I had an unforgettable overnight trip to the Sataya-Dolphin House. Great organization and easy communication. All of my wishes were taken into account and fulfilled. Thank's a lot!
Everything was great. We did Cairo tour and Luxor. 7 pers with driver and guide. The trips was tiring, but it was worth it.
We received exactly the services reserved.
Great experience from the start to finish. Golavita excelled on all fronts from good customer service, customer care and eager to provide customer excellence.They organised a simple, cost effective and efficient service with their Luxor trip package.The van was almost brand new, great drivers, couple stops for refreshments and got us bang on time to Luxor. It was a 12 seater van with just 8 tourists leaving plenty of space for everyone to stretch and be comfortable. I have long legs and so I had requested specific seats which was booked for me in advance and I didn't get any hassle by drivers or other co passengers.The guide was Sherriff and I really really enjoyed the way he delivered the site seeing experience. Sheriff spoke fluent in English and with a Masters in Egyptology and 4 decades of experience there couldn't have been a better guide. I highly recommend Sherriff as a guide and Islam and Ahmed as the drivers of fellow Brits tourists.Above all I want to thank Golavita for organising this incredible journey.
We organiced a big 2 day trip via Akram, two month before from germany. Communication before (and after) was very good! Serious agency. Also special wishes (flights for six people cairo, luxor, balonride) were also taken into account. Thanks!
