CAIRO · 2027 SOLAR ECLIPSE
Solar Eclipse in Cairo — 2 August 2027
The reference coordinate for Cairo is calculated as partial for the 2 August 2027 eclipse.
Cairo city centre is outside totality and receives a deep partial eclipse. This high-value corrective page prevents Egypt-wide totality claims from misleading users.
Move the SunPoint pin to test another exact position rather than extending one city-centre result across the whole area.
The tested city-centre coordinate is outside the totality path.
Calculated time at the reference coordinate.
There is no total phase at this coordinate; this value must not be rounded into totality.
Height and compass bearing at local maximum.

SunPoint supports Eclipse mode for the 2 August 2027 event. Drop a pin or use your location to check local eclipse direction, solar azimuth, altitude and the map direction line where the calculation layer supports it.
- Local eclipse type where supported
- Maximum phase direction
- Solar altitude and azimuth
- Horizon planning from your pin
Classification applies to the stated coordinate, not every point in the city or region.
Is the eclipse total in Cairo?
No at the tested city-centre coordinate. Cairo receives a deep partial eclipse, not totality.
Cairo city centre is outside totality and receives a deep partial eclipse. This high-value corrective page prevents Egypt-wide totality claims from misleading users.
Local time, altitude and direction
Calculated maximum is 12:55 GMT+3. The Sun is 77.7° high at an azimuth of 173.3°.
Azimuth is the compass bearing; altitude is the angle above the astronomical horizon. The real sightline still needs checking.
Check another exact point
Near a path edge, a small move can change totality duration. Put the pin where you actually expect to stand and compare the result.
Solar viewing safety
Use suitable eclipse glasses or a safe indirect method throughout every partial phase. Ordinary sunglasses and cloud are not eye protection.
There is no total phase at this coordinate, so suitable protection is required throughout direct viewing.
Authoritative sources and safety
Use authoritative eclipse data before travel and use proper solar-viewing protection during partial phases.
Photography and horizon tips
- Save the exact coordinate.
- Inspect the horizon in the calculated bearing.
- Bring compliant solar-viewing protection.
