Total Solar Eclipse 2027-08-02 — Jeddah

About this spectacle

On 2 August 2027, Jeddah lies directly in the path of totality for one of the most anticipated solar eclipses of the century. Observers will watch the moon's shadow race across the Red Sea coastline, plunging the city into sudden, eerie darkness in the middle of the day. The solar corona blazes into view — a ghostly white halo impossible to see at any other time — while planets and bright stars emerge in the darkened sky. Temperature drops noticeably, birds fall silent, and the horizon glows with the twilight colours of a 360-degree sunset ring. Totality lasts several minutes above Jeddah's waterfront Corniche, giving photographers and naked-eye observers alike a window of unforgettable celestial drama. This is a once-in-a-generation event for this location, drawing eclipse chasers from around the world.
