Where and when
Luxor, Egypt, within the path of totality. On Monday 2 August 2027 in Luxor, the partial phase begins around 11:40 and totality runs approximately 13:02–13:09 Cairo/Luxor summer time (UTC+3), about six minutes. These are Luxor city estimates, not a guarantee for a particular viewing point. Viewing depends on the weather.
Viewing safely
During the partial phases, look at the Sun only through intact solar viewers meeting ISO 12312-2. Ordinary sunglasses are unsafe. Unaided viewing is safe only when the Sun’s bright face is completely covered during totality; replace your viewer as soon as bright Sun returns. Cameras, binoculars and telescopes require suitable filters fitted at the Sun-facing front. Supervise children. Eclipse visibility depends on weather.
