Total Solar Eclipse 2027
I really to do this eclipse and just wondering what people think the best spots will be. I know Luxor is probably the overall best but I imagine that will be so crowded. I am thinking Tunisia or Algeria as best combination where you still get 5-6 minutes of totality but will not be as crazy busy. I am guessing Libya will still not be really ready for tourism. Anyoneh ave thoughts for where will be best?

Luxor will clearly be best - over 6 min of totality! It's pretty much the peak eclipse around Luxor.
