What you'll see in Tangier

Artist's impression of totality over Tangier: 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 Tangier; the skyline itself is generic.

Tangier gets 4m51s of totality, nearly twice Cádiz's, because the centreline crosses the Strait of Gibraltar and passes closer to the Moroccan shore.

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 09:44:47–09:49:38 UTC+1, when the Sun is fully covered from Tangier.
