On August 2, 2027, a total solar eclipse will trace a narrow path of totality across the southern tip of Spain, several countries in northern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Horn of Africa. The maximum duration of totality for this eclipse will be 6 minutes and 23 seconds. Detailed maps of the path of totality in Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia can be found below. The yellow lines outline the limits of the path of totality in these countries. The green middle line represents the eclipse centerline, where totality lasts the longest. To experience the total phase of the eclipse in these countries, or "totality," you must be within the yellow lines. The closer you are to the green centerline, the longer totality will last. Areas outside the path of totality will get a partial solar eclipse only.
Note that there are several countries along the path of totality that most western governments warn their citizens against traveling to due to various safety and security risks. Since practically nobody will be planning eclipse trips to these countries, we haven't included individual maps for them. Note also that some western governments also warn their citizens against traveling to certain areas of some of the countries that we have included individual maps for and that the path of totality may be inside some of those areas. For more information on what areas may pose a risk, and for current travel guidance, please visit the U.S. State Department's Travel Advisories page.
Remember that you must use special eclipse safety glasses or viewers at all times during the partial phases of a total solar eclipse. The NationalEclipse.com Eclipse Store offers a wide variety of certified safe eclipse glasses and viewers.
