With the naked eye

What you will actually notice in Zumran an Nakhl

  1. 11:31 The Moon touches the edge of the Sun and the light starts to drop. You will not see it yet: a small bite out of a Sun that is still dazzling.
  2. 82 min of steady fading until maximum. In the last stretch it becomes obvious: shadows sharpen, colours go flat and the air goes still in Zumran an Nakhl.
  3. 12:53 Maximum: the Moon covers 93.4% of the Sun.
  4. 93.4 % of the Sun covered. The light will turn strange — flat and cold, like a storm that never arrives — but it does NOT go dark: for that you have to be inside the path of totality.
  5. 76.7° above the horizon at maximum. With the Sun this high you do not need a clear horizon: just make sure no nearby building is in the way.
  6. 14:13 The disc is whole again and the eclipse is over.

The experience

What you will see in Zumran an Nakhl

At 11:31, the Moon will start crossing in front of the Sun in Zumran an Nakhl. At maximum, at 12:53, it will cover 93.4% of the disc: through eclipse glasses you will see the Moon’s bite in the Sun, and you will notice the midday light losing strength.

The full experience —the corona, the sudden darkness, the planets in view— only exists inside the path of totality, which in Egypt crosses 1,210 places. The nearest to Zumran an Nakhl is about 261 km away: in Billah al Mustajiddah (Minya Governorate) it will last 50 s. If you can travel that day, few things are more worth it; if not, 93.4% is still a show worth getting the glasses ready for.

At maximum, the Sun will be high: 76.7° above the horizon. There is no need to look for a clear horizon; it is enough that no nearby building blocks it. With the Sun almost overhead, looking up for so long is tiring: a mat or a reclining chair helps.
