Chasing Eclipses

The 2027 total solar eclipse in Tunisia

Central and southern Tunisia sit near the centre line, with totality of five and a half minutes or more around Sfax and Kasserine. Established tourism, good roads and resorts such as Djerba make it one of the most underrated choices of 2027.
