Luxor to see 2027 eclipse in 6 minutes
North Africa, particularly the Egyptian city of Luxor, will witness on August 2, 2027, the longest total solar eclipse observable from land since 1991. The darkness will last for 6 minutes and 23 seconds, making it the longest until 2114. The eclipse path is expected to cross southern Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Somalia, with visibility over many areas extending up to 259 kilometers. Luxor will have a unique opportunity to see the "Eclipse of the Century" under its clear skies, with increased demand for trips and accommodations, leading to significant price hikes. This eclipse phenomenon presents a global tourist opportunity to boost Africa's recognition in astrophysical tourism, especially after previous events highlighted the continent's importance in the scientific history of solar eclipses.
