The 2027 total solar eclipse in Egypt

Among the places we cover, totality lasts longest in Nag Hammadi, at 6m 27s, starting at 13:00:30 local time (UTC+3).

Totality in each town

Weather in early August

Cloud is close to zero along the Nile Valley in August. Heat is the real challenge: early-afternoon temperatures in Luxor commonly exceed 40°C, so shade, water and a cool base matter.

Outside the path in Egypt

• Hurghada: 98.5% of the Sun covered, no totality.
• Safaga: 99.6% of the Sun covered, no totality.
• Cairo: 94.8% of the Sun covered, no totality.
