SOLAR ECLIPSE
On August 2, 2027, the ancient city of Luxor, Egypt, will be enveloped in a once-in-a-century celestial spectacle. The sky above the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple will slowly darken, and at the moment the sun is covered by the moon, the surroundings will be wrapped in a mysterious silence. The sun, venerated by ancient Egyptians as a symbol of rebirth, will disappear and reappear, inscribing a new story onto the millennia-old monuments. Experiencing this miraculous scene—where the eternal meets the fleeting—at this place is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It was abandoned after a crack developed in the rock during processing, but it remains a valuable site that conveys ancient stone-cutting techniques and labor.
