What you'll see in Sfax

Artist's impression of totality over Sfax: the Moon fully covering the Sun, with the corona showing around it.

Artist's impression. The Sun's height above the rooftops is its real altitude from Sfax; the skyline itself is generic.

Sfax has the longest totality in Tunisia — 5m41s — sitting almost on the centreline with the Sun 56° above the coast.

The Sun is high in the sky here, so unlike a low-horizon eclipse you do not need a distant, unobstructed skyline — but a courtyard or a narrow street can still put a rooftop in the way. Step somewhere with open sky overhead.

⚠ Eye safety

Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses for the entire partial phase. The ONLY exception is 10:08:54–10:14:35 UTC+1, when the Sun is fully covered from Sfax.
