2027 Eclipse in Egypt: Luxor and Other Viewing Locations

Luxor, Abydos and Dendera are starting points for comparing long totality along the Nile region. Siwa provides a different geographic option. The catalogue also contains museums and partial-eclipse stops, so inspect each entry’s totality status before treating it as a viewing site.

On 2 August 2027, 54 of the 74 Egypt catalogue locations receive totality. The longest sampled duration is 6m 23s at Red Monastery. This is a comparison of stored locations, not a national maximum across every coordinate.

Viewing locations and local timings

Open a detailed destination for local contact times and timezone, or a map link for the exact calculation. Times apply at the pin; nearby buildings, terrain and access must be assessed separately.

Historical weather coverage

4 stored regional weather grids match catalogue coordinates in Egypt. Compare the daily cloud means above and read a destination page for the complete sample. These observations describe previous eclipse seasons, not the weather at maximum eclipse in 2027. Compare the historical weather methodology and available regions.

Airports, accommodation and places of interest

The airport column offers a starting point for planning arrival. Distances are straight-line, and same-country airports are preferred. Open a destination’s accommodation link to check a provider search, or select a map pin to inspect transport and nearby attractions. No flight, room or site availability is implied.

These additional points help compare the path and build a wider itinerary. Locations with only basic catalogue descriptions open directly on the map. Partial-eclipse stops require a separate journey into totality.
