2027 solar eclipse map and path

Understand the route of totality first, then use the detailed NASA path map to confirm any exact viewing point.

Use this as a planning overview, not a boundary map. The only reliable way to confirm a final viewing point is to check it against the detailed NASA eclipse path before travel.

The 2027 path in one view

The Moon’s umbral shadow reaches the Atlantic-facing edge of southern Europe, crosses North Africa, continues through the Arabian Peninsula and then moves toward the western Indian Ocean. TotalityTrip’s trip shortlist concentrates on bases where duration, climate and realistic travel logistics create useful trade-offs.

Andalusia → North Africa → Arabia

Schematic only. It does not draw the northern/southern path limits and must not be used to decide whether a specific address is inside totality.

Which countries are crossed by totality?

NASA’s current public summaries identify the total-eclipse track across southern Spain and parts of North Africa and the Middle East. The detailed GSFC path table and map are the authority for exact boundaries. TotalityTrip focuses its travel planner on Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia; a path crossing is not the same thing as a travel recommendation.

Why the centerline matters — and why it is not everything

The longest totality at any longitude is close to the centerline. But a practical eclipse site also needs a clear horizon, legal access, a safe road plan and a believable weather fallback. A site a little away from the mathematical centerline can be the better choice if it gives you better cloud odds or safer logistics.

Confirm your exact point

Before booking a viewing field or driving to a rural location, open NASA’s detailed path map and confirm that the exact point lies between the path limits. Small changes in location matter most near the northern or southern edge.
