Overview

• The eclipse’s path starts over the Atlantic and moves across southern Spain before traversing Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, southwestern Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Somalia, exiting near the Chagos Archipelago.
• Totality will last up to 6 minutes and 23 seconds at peak locations such as Luxor, marking the longest land-visible solar eclipse between 1991 and 2114.
• Dry, clear August skies in Libya and Egypt make those regions prime spots for both scientific observation and eclipse tourism.
• Designated the “Great North African Eclipse,” the event will be entirely invisible from India and most of South Asia.
• No land-visible eclipse will match this duration again until August 23, 2114.
