8-Day Solar Eclipse Tour from Tangier

After breakfast, leave Tangier and travel towards Tetouan. Explore the charming old medina, known for its Andalusian influence and whitewashed architecture. Continue through the scenic Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen, one of Morocco’s most photogenic towns. After arriving, settle into your accommodation and enjoy a relaxed afternoon exploring the famous blue streets and small squares of the medina. Tonight is particularly important: you will already be in Chefchaouen, ready for tomorrow’s total solar eclipse, without the need for any long-distance travel on eclipse morning.

Today is the highlight of your Solar Eclipse Tour from Tangier. August 2, 2027, brings the total solar eclipse in Chefchaouen. The partial phases begin in the morning, with maximum eclipse in Chefchaouen at approximately 8:47 a.m. local time and totality lasting around 4 minutes and 13 seconds. For detailed local eclipse timings, see Timeanddate’s 2027 eclipse information for Morocco.

You will not need to undertake a long journey on the morning of the eclipse. Instead, you can enjoy the experience from a carefully selected viewing location in or around Chefchaouen, depending on final local arrangements and 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. After the eclipse, enjoy a relaxed afternoon in Chefchaouen. You may explore more of the medina, relax at your accommodation, or simply take in the atmosphere of this special day. For more information about the eclipse and its path across Morocco, see our 2027 Total Solar Eclipse in Morocco guide.

Continue to Meknes, one of Morocco’s historic imperial cities. Discover highlights such as the impressive Bab Mansour, the old medina and the historic city walls before continuing to Fes. Arrive in Fes in the late afternoon or evening and settle into your accommodation.

Today is dedicated to discovering Fes, one of Morocco’s most important cultural and spiritual centers. With an official local guide, explore the ancient medina of Fes el-Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and discover its fascinating history and traditions.
