Witness the 2027 Total Solar Eclipse in Tangier, sleep under Sahara stars near Merzouga & close the journey with rooftop nights in Marrakech, 12 days across Morocco's most extraordinary landscapes.
The eclipse is the perfect reason to finally take the Morocco trip you've been considering. On August 2, 2027, you'll witness 4 minutes and 50 seconds of totality in Tangier, the second-longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century. But that's one extraordinary day inside an even bigger journey.This 12-day tour pairs the eclipse with an overnight Saharan desert camp near Merzouga's Erg Chebbi dunes, over 150 metres high, where a sunset camel trek and Berber campfire dinner under the stars create an experience as powerful as the eclipse itself. The journey concludes with two nights in Marrakech rooftop terraces above the ancient medina, the 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque glowing at dusk, and the Jemaa el-Fna square alive after dark.The route covers eight cities across Morocco: Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, Chefchaouen, Fez, Merzouga, Ouarzazate, and Marrakech. Every day includes a licensed English-speaking guide, air-conditioned transport, and handpicked accommodation. Memphis Tours has operated Morocco tours, serving over 200,000 travellers annually. Places for August 2, 2027, are limited. The Science Behind This TripThis tour is built around a real astronomical event, not just a travel theme. Tangier's position in the 2027 eclipse path, its 79% clear sky probability based on 24 years of weather data, and exactly what happens during 4 minutes and 50 seconds of total darkness are all explained in our Morocco Solar Eclipse 2027 guide. Read it first, then come back and reserve your place in the Sahara.
