Chase the Total Solar Eclipse in Morocco with @readysetjetset
August 1-11, 2027
Experience Morocco during one of the most extraordinary moments on Earth—the Total Solar Eclipse of August 2, 2027—on an unforgettable journey through imperial cities, desert landscapes, and ancient cultures.
Begin in Tangier, where you’ll witness the eclipse in the path of totality as day briefly turns to night. Continue through the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen before arriving in Fes, Morocco’s spiritual and cultural heart, to explore its labyrinthine medina, historic universities, artisan workshops, and enjoy a private dinner with a local family.
Travel onward to Rabat, Morocco’s elegant capital, then fly south toward the edge of the Sahara. Venture deep into the desert at Erg Chebbi, riding camels across golden dunes, watching the sunset over the Sahara, and spending the night under the stars in a luxury desert camp with Berber music and storytelling.
Journey through dramatic valleys and Berber villages in the Dades region, where you’ll take part in a hands-on cooking class and soak in the rhythms of daily life, before crossing the High Atlas Mountains to the iconic Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site frozen in time.
End in vibrant Marrakech, exploring lush gardens, palaces, ancient tombs, and bustling souks, with time to wander, shop, and celebrate the journey with a farewell dinner in the heart of the medina.
From witnessing a once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse to sleeping beneath Saharan stars, this Morocco adventure is a rare blend of celestial wonder, deep cultural immersion, and unforgettable landscapes.
