UpToWhereEclipse 2027 in Sidi Slimane: how long does totality last?
Sidi Slimane is outside the path of totality. The Sun will be 99.2% covered at maximum, which is dramatic and is not the same phenomenon: the corona only appears when the disc is fully hidden. The band is about 40 km away.

Drag through the eclipse, or press play. Every time, position and darkness level is computed for this exact spot.
Notice the sky: it never goes dark here. Even a deep partial eclipse leaves ordinary daylight, which is why the drive into the band is worth it. Disc sizes are exaggerated; times and geometry are computed for this exact point.
Local times
| Partial begins | 07:39:45 |
| Maximum | 08:46:27 |
| Partial ends | 10:00:11 |
All times are local for Africa/Casablanca (UTC+0) on eclipse day. Note the two-hour clock gap across the Strait: Spain is on UTC+2 and Morocco on UTC+0 that day, so the same instant reads two hours apart on the two shores.
Where exactly should you stand in Sidi Slimane?
Line the eclipsed Sun up with a ridge, a tower or a person, and get the spot to stand on and the second it happens.

Will the 2027 eclipse be total in Sidi Slimane?
No. Sidi Slimane is outside the path and sees a partial eclipse of about 99.2% at maximum. The nearest edge of the band is roughly 40 km away.
What time is the eclipse in Sidi Slimane?
Maximum eclipse is at 08:46:27 local time (Africa/Casablanca). The partial phase begins at 07:39:45 and ends at 10:00:11.
Will terrain block the view?
Almost certainly not. The Sun is 37.8° above the horizon here at maximum, so an obstruction would have to be extraordinarily close and tall. That was the decisive question for the 2026 eclipse, when the Sun was nearly setting, and it will be again for the January 2028 annular eclipse.
