Tetouan and the path of totality

Tetouan is the large yellow dot. The dark band is the path of totality; the further you are from its edges, the longer totality lasts.

Where to look

The Sun will be 38° 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.

Watching the eclipse in Tetouan

Tetouan’s whitewashed medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the nearby Mediterranean resorts of Martil and M’diq add more accommodation.

Getting to Tetouan

Tetouan Sania Ramel airport has limited flights; most visitors arrive via Tangier, about an hour by road.
