El Paso, TX — Tropical Sails Corp is thrilled to unveil its extraordinary new journey: the Egypt Solar Eclipse Tour 2027 – Rail & Cruise, scheduled July 30 – August 8, 2027. This 10-day expedition blends the awe of a total solar eclipse with the grandeur of ancient Egypt, offering travellers a unique travel experience unlike any other.
Participants will start in Cairo, journey by overnight sleeper train to Upper Egypt, sail the Nile in comfort aboard the elegant MS Coral II, explore temples and tombs, and culminate in the breathtaking spectacle of the total solar eclipse on August 2 in Luxor.
A Journey of Wonder
Beginning in Egypt’s capital, Cairo, guests will explore landmark sites such as the Grand Egypt Museum and the iconic Giza Plateau with its Pyramids and Sphinx. Then, travellers board an overnight sleeper train to Sohag and Luxor to avoid the crowds typical of airports, adding an adventurous element to the route.
On August 2, guests will witness the total eclipse from the deck of the cruise ship or from a specially-arranged location, set against the timeless backdrop of Luxor and the Nile — a moment where natural wonder meets ancient history. Tropical Sails
Following the eclipse, the journey continues by river: passing through the astonishing temple complexes of Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, and the famed tombs in the Valley of the Kings, then onward to the temples of Edfu Temple (Temple of Horus), Kom Ombo Temple (dedicated to Sobek & Haroeris), and the majestic sites of Aswan High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk and Philae Temple.
An optional excursion to the legendary Abu Simbel Temples is also available for those seeking even deeper immersion in Egypt’s wonders.
