Memphis Tours Unveils 2025 Egypt Travel Experiences: Journey Through History and Luxury
You get to enter some of Egypt's most iconic sites in unique conditions that offer privacy and depth. They get you into the inner chambers of the Great Pyramid of Giza, a part of the monument that's usually closed to the general public. You also enter restricted tombs on Luxor's West Bank, where the wall paintings and centuries-old artifacts are still intact. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo opens its doors after hours, so you can have a quieter and more personal appreciation of its world-famous collection.
Each destination is led by certified Egyptologists who will take you beyond the surface. These experts will provide historical context, decipher hieroglyphics, and answer in-depth questions so you absorb meaning as well as spectacle. Instead of just looking at monuments, you'll get to know their meaning.
The Nile River, Egypt's lifeblood, still defines the country's soul and is at the heart of Memphis Tours' experiences. You'll travel on luxury cruise ships with panoramic windows, elegant dining rooms, and private suites. These ships are like a floating hotel and a cultural salon combined. Daily shore excursions will take you to temples at Edfu and Kom Ombo, then to Aswan, where the pace slows down and the landscapes change. Onboard briefings and evening talks will help you understand what you see throughout the journey.
Beyond the Nile Valley, Memphis Tours includes routes into the vast and less-travelled Western Desert. White Desert expeditions will introduce you to surreal chalk formations, sculpted naturally into abstract shapes that look like animals and towers. Hot springs and secret oases are along the way, prehistoric rock art is thousands of years old. Local Bedouin will feed you and tell you stories, give you a glimpse into a life adapted to the desert. These carefully managed desert trips are about exploration, not exploitation, and are grounded in cultural respect and environmental awareness.
In Egypt's living communities, Memphis Tours includes experiences that connect, educate, and sustain. You'll sit down with Egyptian families for home-cooked meals, watch artisans preserve ancient crafts in local workshops, and walk through active excavation sites with working archaeologists. These programs help you appreciate modern Egypt as much as ancient Egypt and ensure tourism benefits the economy and cultural preservation.
Families find thoughtfully designed itineraries for all ages. Younger guests get customized programming that includes camel rides near the Giza Plateau, treasure hunts in temple courtyards, and museum visits that present Egypt's history as a storybook, not a textbook. They pace, content and logistics to suit families with children so learning occurs naturally and memories last forever.
They also offer committed photography tours in the 2025 lineup. Such programs provide early morning and sunset access to monuments and temples so that you can photograph without the crowds. You'll be assisted by expert photo guides who will teach you about angle, framing, and timing. These trips combine artistic expression with technical improvement, so you'll get great images and improved skills.
For those who want a more exclusive experience, Memphis Tours offers itineraries defined by comfort, discretion, and service. Stays at Egypt's top hotels, including the legendary Old Winter Palace in Luxor and 5* properties along the Red Sea coast, mean you'll be in the best hands. Private vehicles, expert guides and flexible itineraries mean every detail is tailored to you. Some guests enjoy rooftop dinners near the pyramids or private viewings of select exhibits, arranged on request. Every aspect is tailored to your interests and highest standards.
The Red Sea is a new destination in the collection. Divers and snorkelers explore coral reefs untouched by development. Guided ocean explorations reveal species' diverse environments under the crystal clear waters. Then, return to coastal resorts where beach peace co-exists with luxury. Spa therapy, wine tasting and cultural tours finish the coastal experience, balancing nature and relaxation.
Memphis Tours has sustainability at its heart. Each tour is designed to preserve archaeological sites, support local economies and environmental stewardship. Vehicles follow fuel efficient protocols, visits to heritage sites follow strict preservation guidelines and all programs aim to generate economic opportunities for Egyptians. By putting sustainability at the forefront of what they do, they protect Egypt's cultural heritage and your place in it.
They designed their 2025 programs with flexibility and variety in mind. Tour types range from group tours for social discovery to private tours for comfort and independence. Packages include accommodation, transportation, an expert guide, entrance fees, and most meals. Early bird discounts are available until March 31, 2025. Corporate groups, schools, and extended families get personalized pricing and logistical support.
Plan your trip with ease on their website, where you can find detailed itineraries, FAQs, and personal consultation tools. Choose from experiences by length, destination, theme, and service level. Whether you're looking for history, nature, family bonding, or luxury retreat, they have a portfolio to match every interest with care and precision.

Nature's Greatest Event Of The 21st Century Is Exactly Two Years Today
Libyan youths watch the solar eclipse in the desert tourist camp in Galo, 1300 km south of the Libyan capital of Tripoli, 29 March 2006. (Credit: KHALED DESOUKI/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images Where were you on April 8, 2024? If you were in North America and, more specifically, within the narrow path of totality — you would have experienced something sublime. Darkness in the day. The sun's corona appeared around the moon's silhouette. Entire communities gathered for an event that made politics and division seem silly. A total solar eclipse is an amazing event — occurring just once every 366 years, on average, on any one place on Earth. On Aug. 22, 2027, one of those places is Luxor in Egypt, ancient Thebes — the capital of Ancient Egypt and home to the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple and the Temple of Hatshepsut. Here's everything you need to know about the 2027 total solar eclipse as anticipation builds for the century's longest remaining totality. Forbes The Greatest Eclipse Of Your Life Is Coming Soon — Here's What To Know By Jamie Carter The track of this eclipse is 9,462 miles (15,227 kilometers) long, beginning in the North Atlantic Ocean and ending in the Indian Ocean via the Iberian Peninsular, North Africa and the Arabian Peninsular. On the way, it will cross southern Spain, northern Morocco, northern Algeria, northern Tunisia, the northern coast of Libya, Egypt, the northeast corner of Sudan, southwestern Saudi Arabia, Yemen, northeastern Somalia and the northern islands of the British Indian Ocean Territory. The path of totality is about 160 miles (275 kilometers) wide. Forbes See The Longest Total Solar Eclipse Left This Century — And It's Guaranteed A Clear Sky By Jamie Carter It all depends on where you watch from. Within any path of totality, it lasts longest on the centerline, but in addition, there's always a place of maximum eclipse at local midday. That's simply where the moon is closest to Earth (our planet is curved, remember!). On Aug. 2, 2027, that place is just to the southeast of Luxor, where an exceptionally long totality of six minutes and 23 seconds will take place — the longest remaining of the 21st century. Forbes The 'Eclipse Of The Century' Is 1,000 Days Away — What To Know And Where To Go By Jamie Carter In advance of most total solar eclipses, everyone wants to know where the best places are to watch. Usually, that means where the totality will last longest and where the weather will likely be clear. In 2027, that means Luxor for both. Clear weather is almost guaranteed, according to eclipse weather expert Jay Anderson, who writes: 'Some parts of the eclipse track — over Libya and western Egypt — have seen no August cloud on eclipse day whatsoever in the past 23 years.' However, given that huge crowds are certain in Luxor, there are other places to consider where the totality duration is a little shorter. Weather-wise, standouts include southern Spain, northern Morocco and anywhere in Egypt except for the coast. Cadiz, Spain: 2 minutes and 47 seconds of totality. Tangier, Morocco: 4 minutes and 48 seconds of totality. Oran, Algeria: 5 minutes and 6 seconds of totality. Kerkennah Islands, Tunisia: 5 minutes and 42 seconds of totality. Siwa Oasis, Egypt: 5 minutes 29 seconds of totality. Luxor, Egypt: 6 minutes 22 seconds of totality. Forbes Meet The Country About To Have Three Solar Eclipses In Three Years By Jamie Carter The Next Total Solar Eclipse The next total solar eclipse is on Aug. 12, 2026, when Greenland, Iceland, and Spain will witness a maximum 2-minute, 18-second totality. The next total solar eclipse in the contiguous U.S. will occur on Aug. 22, 2044, when Greenland, Canada's Northwest Territories, South Dakota and North Dakota will witness a maximum of 2 minutes and 4 seconds totality.

Seven Unique Tours For 2027's Six-Minute Total Solar Eclipse
What will happen on Aug. 2, 2025? Nothing — a viral story online saying the 'world will go dark' for six minutes, and that it's a 'sight you won't see again for 100 years,' is false. However, like all online nonsense, there's a grain of truth in it. What will happen on Aug. 2, 2027 — two years from today — is the longest total solar eclipse on land this century. It will plunge southern Spain, North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula into totality for six minutes and is, therefore, being touted as the 'eclipse of the century.' In truth, how long totality lasts during a total solar eclipse not only varies according to exactly where you are within the narrow path of totality (in this case, 160 miles/275 kilometers wide), but where you are along it, too. After all, it stretches for 9,462 miles (15,227 kilometers) across the globe. Where To Experience The 2027 Total Solar Eclipse Since the moon's shadow is projected onto the sphere of Earth, one location will be closest to the moon — and, therefore, have its shadow move across it at its slowest. That location on Aug. 2, 2027, is close to Luxor, Egypt — home to the Valley of the Kings and the temples of Karnak, Luxor and Hatshepsut — where totality will last for six minutes and 20 seconds. Do eclipse chasers need to go to Luxor? If they want to boast about being in totality for the longest this century, yes. If that's not a concern, there are trips to all kinds of other places along the path — all with a five minutes or more of totality — from Spain, Morocco and Algeria to Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and even Somalia at the Horn of Africa. Here's a sample of some of the most unusual trips to see the 2027 total solar eclipse: M'Sila Forest, Algeria If you're after an exciting and unusual adventure, Untamed Borders (which runs trips to some of the most challenging and remote countries in the world) is offering a seven-day trip to Algeria to coincide with the eclipse. Beginning in the Kasbah of Algiers, the trip will travel west along the Mediterranean coastline to see Roman remains at Tipaza and Cherchell, taking in totality for five minutes 3 seconds at M'Sila Forest just south of the city of Oran. After a visit to see Tlemcen's Moorish architecture, the adventure comes to an end in Algiers. Aten City, Egypt Akhenaten, a pharaoh in ancient Egypt's 18th Dynasty, was — like eclispe chasers — something of a sun-worshipper. The father of Tutankhamun, he promoted worship of the sun's disk, Aten, and built a city called Aten close to Luxor. This lost golden city was discovered in 2021, and Archaeological Paths is running a tour to experience the eclipse in this fitting location. Famed Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, Aten City's discoverer, is the tour guide. Totality will last 6 minutes and 20 seconds. Red Sea, Egypt This seven-day tour from AstroTrails, beginning Jul. 30, swerves Luxor for the eclipse in favor of the southern part of Egypt's Red Sea coast. Beginning and ending in Cairo, it's largely based at the Wadi Lahmy Azur Resort, where totality will last for 6 minutes 13 seconds (only seven seconds less than Luxor). Expect awesome stargazing, opportunities, too. The Horn Of Africa, Puntland (Somalia) Puntland — an autonomous region in northeastern Somalia on the Horn of Africa — is not where most eclipse chasers will be heading. In fact, Puntland is not internationally recognized as an independent country. Untamed Borders is running a seven-day eclipse tour beginning in Bosaso, taking in Xaafun on the Indian Ocean Coast to experience a five-minute and 25-second totality at the easternmost point of continental Africa. The tour of the Horn of Africa then continues to beaches and historic fishing villages, visiting an Italian colonial lighthouse at the tip of the Horn. Mediterranean Sea, Tunisia The easiest way to see a total solar eclipse is often by cruise ship — partly because most paths of totality occur mainly over the ocean. That's true for the 2027 eclipse, yet there are plenty of opportunities for cruises because the path crosses the Mediterranean Sea. However, many cruise ships will be close to Spain and in the sometimes cloudy Straits of Gibraltar. Holland America's 14-day round-trip cruise from Athens, Greece via stops in Tunisia, Malta and Italy will observe the eclipse off Tunisia, where clear skies are almost guaranteed — and totality will last around five minutes and 45 seconds. It also includes a visit to the Royal Malta Observatory. Sfax, Tunisia Cooler and less prone to dust storms, Tunisia has some advantages over Egypt. This trip from TravelQuest aims for a laid-back eclipse experience, traveling from the capital, Tunis, to explore ancient Carthage, the Great Mosque of Kairouan, artisans' markets and the Douz — not forgetting Tozeur, which doubled as Tatooine in Star Wars. The eclipse will be experienced at a specially selected site in or near Sfax on the coast, where totality will last for five minutes and 42 seconds. Nile Cruise, Egypt Perhaps the default way to experience this eclipse — and its maximum totality — is to be on the Nile in Luxor. There are myriad options, all selling out very quickly. One example comes from Smithsonian Journeys, whose itinerary includes tours to the ancient temples of Luxor, with talks on board ship from Smithsonian Journeys Experts and Egyptologists. Not a unique tour, but it promises a very special experience. Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.
