August 2, 2027, brings the total solar eclipse in Chefchaouen.

For detailed local eclipse timings, see Timeanddate’s 2027 eclipse information for Morocco.

You will already be in Chefchaouen, so there is no need for a long journey on eclipse morning. The eclipse can be experienced from a carefully selected viewing location in or around Chefchaouen, depending on final local arrangements, accessibility and weather conditions.

During totality, the Moon completely covers the Sun, creating the remarkable darkness and revealing the solar corona around the black disk of the Moon.
