Will there be a total eclipse in Casablanca?

No. Casablanca is outside the path of totality. At most 97.1% of the Sun will be covered, at 08:44:13 local time (UTC+0).

Where is the nearest place to see totality from Casablanca?

The nearest practical option is Tangier, about 2 hours on the high-speed train.

How dark will it get in Casablanca?

With 97.1% of the Sun covered, daylight will dim noticeably and take on a strange, flat quality, and it may feel slightly cooler. It will not get dark, the stars will not come out and the corona will stay hidden, because even a thin sliver of Sun is far brighter than the corona.

Can I take the high-speed train to Tangier on the morning?

Not reliably. Al Boraq takes about 2 hours 10 minutes, but totality in Tangier starts at 08:44. Bookings open three months ahead, so book then and travel the day before.

Casablanca and the path of totality

Casablanca is the large white dot, outside the dark band. To see the Sun completely covered you need to be inside the band.

Path of totality, where the Sun is completely coveredOutside the band, a partial eclipse only

Where to look

The Sun will be 36° above the horizon towards the east. That is roughly the height of a raised fist held at arm’s length, stacked 4 times above the horizon. Pick a spot with nothing tall on that side: a beach or hillside facing east is ideal, while narrow streets and tall buildings to the east can block the view.

Where to go for totality

The nearest place to see the total eclipse from Casablanca is Tangier, about 2 hours on the high-speed train. If you can make the trip, leave the evening before: roads into the path are expected to be very busy on the morning of the eclipse.
