The eclipse back office for small travel agencies selling six minutes of totality at Luxor.
The century’s longest totality on land crosses Spain, North Africa and Luxor on 2 August 2027, and agencies sell it this winter. Umbra Desk computes each stop’s contact times, totality length, sun angle over the site, August cloud and heat odds and a move-if-cloudy rule, then wraps it all in a client pack.

Contact times, totality length and the sun’s altitude and azimuth over each temple or site, worked out from published eclipse elements.
- Step 02
Adds the weather odds and a plan B
Historical August cloud and heat-index odds for each site, and a simple ‘move here if cloudy’ rule for the day itself.
- Step 03

Signs agency deals; an astronomer checks
An astronomer checks our computation pipeline against the NASA and Espenak tables before we ship. The owner signs every agency deal. We never sell travel: your agency sells the trip and keeps the client.

Umbra Desk never sells travel or takes bookings: the agency sells the trip. Every pack says plainly that August at Luxor can pass 40°C, as a health issue, not a footnote.
Do you sell eclipse trips?
No. We never sell travel. Your agency sells the trip and keeps the client. We supply the eclipse numbers, the plan B and the client pack.
How accurate are the times?
They are computed from published eclipse elements, and an astronomer checks our pipeline against the NASA and Espenak tables before anything ships.
Is Luxor in August too hot?
It can pass 40°C, and every pack says so plainly, as a health issue. Travel conditions in Egypt can also change, so agencies should keep watching official advice.
