EGYPT · 2027 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE
2027 Solar Eclipse in Egypt — 2 August 2027
The 2 August 2027 totality path crosses part of Egypt, not the whole territory.
The totality path crosses Egypt from the Western Desert through the Nile Valley toward the Red Sea. Siwa, Asyut, Luxor and Marsa Alam are total at the tested points; Cairo and Hurghada are partial.
Use SunPoint to test another exact coordinate before turning a broad path map into a viewing plan.
Totality exists only inside the central path.
Local circumstances vary by coordinate.
Do not apply the path to the whole country.
Test another place on the live map.
Is this exact point inside totality?
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
Country eligibility comes from path geometry; every exact coordinate still needs a local calculation.
Where totality crosses Egypt
The totality path crosses Egypt from the Western Desert through the Nile Valley toward the Red Sea. Siwa, Asyut, Luxor and Marsa Alam are total at the tested points; Cairo and Hurghada are partial.
Verified local pages cover Siwa, Asyut, Luxor, Marsa Alam, Cairo.
Totality versus partial eclipse
A city outside the path receives a partial eclipse even when another part of the same country has totality.
Use another place as an alternative
If a well-known destination is impractical, compare another coordinate inside the corridor. SunPoint does not claim accommodation availability or prices.
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
- Check a coordinate, not only a country.
- Compare duration and direction.
- Never use cloud or sunglasses as protection.
