Travelers can now secure a spot to watch the total solar eclipse scheduled for Aug. 2, 2027, from a dedicated venue on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, according to the operator’s latest announcement.
Itinerary blends ancient sites with a seaside viewing experience
The ten‑day program, branded Chasing Totality: Egypt & Red Sea Solar Eclipse, starts with a five‑night stay at a deluxe resort in Marsa Alam. Guests will be lodged near the Akassia Marsa Alam Roman‑style theatre, where the eclipse will be observed from a specially prepared viewing platform.
The schedule includes more than five minutes of total darkness, a rare window when the sun’s corona becomes visible.

After the viewing night, the tour moves to Cairo for a four‑night stay at a luxury hotel. While in the capital, an Egyptologist will lead tours of the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Pyramids of Giza, and the lively Khan el‑Khalili bazaar.
The itinerary also offers free time for guests to explore other Cairo landmarks, such as Islamic Cairo’s historic streets, providing a balance between guided experiences and personal discovery.
Booking incentives for travel advisors:
For September bookings, the operator’s GowayPro Loyalty Program adds a $50 bonus reward for advisors who sell any Egypt trip, including the Chasing Totality package. The program notes that the reward applies to all qualifying reservations made through its platform.
Bronwyn Hodge, VP for Africa & Middle East, said, “While many Nile cruise eclipse programs are already sold out or offer extremely limited availability, Goway has developed an exciting alternative on the Red Sea coast that travel advisors can sell with confidence.”

She added, “Rather than treating the eclipse as a standalone sightseeing event, Goway’s Chasing Totality: Egypt & Red Sea Solar Eclipse combines Cairo’s iconic landmarks with five nights at a Red Sea resort and an exclusive hosted viewing experience at Akassia Marsa Alam’s Roman‑style theatre. The result is a more relaxed and immersive way to experience this extraordinary event and explore the wonders of Egypt.”
The operator has set aside a limited allocation of spots, urging early reservations to guarantee a place before the capacity is reached.
Travel agents can find additional resources on the operator’s website, where detailed day‑by‑day breakdowns and pricing tiers are listed. The site also provides a photo gallery of the Roman‑style theatre, illustrating the venue’s capacity to host large groups while preserving its historic ambiance.
