Algeria · Aures Mountains
Eclipse Horizon 2027
A fixed-date journey built entirely around the total solar eclipse of 2 August 2027, above the Roman city of Timgad.
The journey
On 2 August 2027 the moon's shadow sweeps across the Aures Mountains and the ancient Roman city of Timgad falls into total darkness. This is a journey built entirely around those few extraordinary minutes.
You travel with a small group to one of the finest vantage points on the path of totality, with the timing, the location and every logistic handled for you. Around the eclipse itself we explore the mountains, the Roman heritage of the region and the warm hospitality of the Aures.
Choose the one-week journey focused on the eclipse and Timgad, or the two-week journey that adds the wider landscapes and culture of eastern Algeria. Both are fixed around eclipse day.
How the journey unfolds
Arrival and the road east
