Topline<\/h2>\n

On Aug. 2, 2027, the moon\u2019s shadow will race across parts of southern Spain, North Africa and the Middle East, delivering what many eclipse chasers are calling the \u201ceclipse of the century.\u201d Today, there are just 400 days to go. That may sound like plenty of time, but as everyone hoping to experience one of the greatest astronomical events of the 21st century will know, flights, hotels, cruises and specialist tours are already filling up \u2014 particularly in prime viewing locations along the path of totality, such as Luxor in Egypt, where 6 minutes 20 seconds of totality will occur. That\u2019s the longest for 88 years. If seeing a total solar eclipse is on your bucket list, this is the one, but you need to act fast. <\/p>\n

\u2018ground Zero\u2019 For The \u2018eclipse Of The Century\u2019<\/h2>\n

While there are excellent viewing opportunities in southern Spain and throughout North Africa, one destination stands above all others: Luxor, Egypt \u2014 Thebes in ancient Egypt. Situated close to the point of greatest eclipse, Luxor will enjoy more than six minutes of totality amid some of the clearest skies along the entire eclipse track. The prospect of seeing the sun\u2019s corona above the temples and monuments of ancient Egypt \u2014 among them Karnak, Luxor Temple, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and the Valley of the Kings \u2014 has already made the city one of the most sought-after eclipse destinations in the world. However, the reality may be different. \u201cI imagine there are lots of folks out there who are thinking, \u2018Oh, I\u2019ll actually be at the Temple of Luxor for the eclipse,\u2019 but unless you\u2019ve made very, very special arrangements, I guarantee that, no, you will not be there,\u201d said Ithaca, New York-based Dr. Tyler Nordgren at Space Art Travel Bureau, author of Sun Moon Earth: The History of Solar Eclipses from Omens of Doom to Einstein and Exoplanets, in an interview. \u201cLuxor could be chaotic; there will be a lot of folks, but if it\u2019s in keeping with the eclipse experience we see worldwide, it will be a huge crowd of people having a truly transcendental, awe\u2011inspiring moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why You Need A Plan Now<\/h2>\n

Experienced eclipse chasers often begin planning years in advance. The reason is simple: everyone wants to be in the same narrow corridor. In 2027, with Luxor the favored destination for many, the corridor is even narrower. Accommodation along the path can sell out months or even years in advance of eclipse day. Prices are rising as demand increases, and flights will become scarce and more expensive.<\/p>\n

Southern Spain is also expected to be a major hotspot, offering easier access for European travelers and a combination of historic cities, beaches and eclipse viewing in destinations such as C\u00e1diz, M\u00e1laga, Tarifa and Gibraltar. \u201cMake sure you\u2019ve got all your reservations in order,\u201d said Nordgren.<\/p>\n

Part Of A Remarkable Eclipse Era<\/h2>\n

The 2027 total solar eclipse will be visible from a 160-mile (275-km) wide path of totality 9,462 miles (15,227 km) long. According to TimeAndDate.com, 88.9 million people live in that path of totality. The 2027 eclipse also sits at the center of an extraordinary run of celestial events. A total solar eclipse crosses Greenland, Iceland and Spain on Aug. 2, 2026, while another sweeps across Australia and New Zealand on July 22, 2028, bringing totality to Sydney for the first time since 1857. However, if you\u2019re only going to chase one eclipse in the coming decade, Aug. 2, 2027, is arguably the one to choose. Why? Because you\u2019ll almost certainly see the corona. \u201cSome parts of the eclipse track \u2014 over Libya and western Egypt \u2014 have seen no August cloud on eclipse day whatsoever in the past 23 years,\u201d said Jay Anderson, a Canadian meteorologist and eclipse chaser, in a climate analysis. For once, there will be no eclipse chasing required.<\/p>\n
