ANCIENT EGYPT and cosmic mysteries COMES TO LIFEOn August 2, 2027, day will become night for 6 minutes and 23 seconds above the temples of Luxor. This is the longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century—and Spirit Quest Tours invites you to witness it from the spiritual heartland of ancient Egypt. Step into a spiritual odyssey along the Nile. Spirit Quest Tours invites you to a once-in-a-lifetime journey of transformation, combining five-star luxury, private access to sacred sites, and the rarest of celestial events. Stand in awe as the Moon's shadow sweeps across Egypt. Feel the desert air cool as the moon's shadow races across the sand. Watch the corona bloom like Hathor's silver crown around the darkened sun. Experience the same cosmic awe that would have brought pharaohs to their knees--an astonishing 6 minutes and 23 seconds of totality—right above Luxor, the spiritual heartland of Amun-Ra, the Sun God. "When the eye closes, the world holds its breath. In that moment between day and night, between life and death, all transformations are possible." —Inscription from the walls of Dendera Temple "I am he who closes his eye, and darkness comes into being. I am he who opens his eye, and light comes into being." —Book of the Dead, Spell 54 In Egyptian mysticism, the eclipse represents the sacred union of Ra and Osiris - the living sun god meeting the lord of regeneration in a moment of cosmic transformation. These are the themes we will explore with our minds, and experience with our hearts.

This was the trip of a lifetime! I will probably never experience the VIP treatment I got on this trip ever again, everything was thought of and taken care of (which was extremely important being in such a different culture and not speaking the language).

I had a wonderful experience in Egypt w Greg and our group. The hotel and the cruise and the food were all 5 Star. Egypt is a world of wonders and we saw so many of them! Thank you, Greg and everyone who helped things run so seamlessly.
