EGYPT · 2027 ECLIPSE COMPARISON
From Cairo to the 2027 Totality Path — 2 August 2027
Cairo city centre is outside the totality path, so staying at that coordinate means a deep partial eclipse rather than totality.
This page compares existing SunPoint coordinates inside the Egyptian path. It does not provide transport schedules, road advice, access guarantees or accommodation inventory.
Astronomy Engine calculates each example; NASA GSFC supplies central-path geography.
Local times depend on the coordinate.
Calculated duration, altitude and azimuth.

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
Examples are exact-coordinate calculations, not regional or travel guarantees.
Compare local circumstances
Cairo: 94.8% partial obscuration; 77.7° altitude; 173.3° azimuth.
Siwa: 5m 37s of totality; 75.5° altitude; 139.4° azimuth.
Asyut: 6m 10s of totality; 80.6° altitude; 177.0° azimuth.
Luxor: 6m 25s of totality; 81.8° altitude; 195.6° azimuth.
Marsa Alam: 5m 33s of totality; 80.8° altitude; 218.5° azimuth.
Turn geometry into a plan
Use the exact pin you intend to occupy. Duration and solar position can change, especially near a path edge.
These pages are not travel-safety advice and do not confirm access, bookings or future conditions.
Solar viewing safety
Use suitable eclipse glasses or a safe indirect method throughout every partial phase. Ordinary sunglasses and cloud are not eye protection.
Only observers confirmed inside complete totality may remove solar viewers during the brief fully total phase, and protection must be restored before any bright solar surface reappears.
Authoritative sources and safety
Use authoritative eclipse data before travel and use proper solar-viewing protection during partial phases.
Photography and horizon tips
- Save more than one coordinate.
- Check the horizon at the calculated azimuth.
- Verify current conditions separately.
