What you'll see in Luxor
Artist's impression. The Sun's height above the rooftops is its real altitude from Luxor; the skyline itself is generic.
Luxor is the headline of this eclipse: 6m22s of totality with the Sun 82° overhead — the longest totality on land this century, over the Valley of the Kings and Karnak.
The Sun is high in the sky here, so unlike a low-horizon eclipse you do not need a distant, unobstructed skyline — but a courtyard or a narrow street can still put a rooftop in the way. Step somewhere with open sky overhead.
⚠ Eye safety
Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses for the entire partial phase. The ONLY exception is 13:02:14–13:08:36 UTC+3, when the Sun is fully covered from Luxor.
