Where we gather
On the centre line, on the West Bank
Luxor sits almost exactly on the centre line, where totality runs longest. The ship cruises down from Aswan, the hotels are a walk from the grounds, and Giza waits at the end.
Hour by hour
Thirty-six hours around totality

Who holds it
Hosted by the keepers of this land
Egyptian, Nubian, and North African wisdom keepers open the circle and share the preparations, with Indigenous elders from around the world beside them. Names will be shared as relationships are confirmed.
Everyone on every pathway is here together: cruise guests, hotel guests, pass holders, Featured Participants, and Crew. Come as you are, and dress for the heat. Colour, art, and installation are designed for the rustic West Bank.
And you. If you have something to offer, there is a place for it. Offering is an invitation, never a requirement. How to take part
