The president of the Bahraini Astronomical Society said, a. D. Wahib Al -Nasser, The news of the occurrence of a solar eclipse, yesterday, is incorrect; What is meant by a total eclipse of the sun on August 2, 2027, and, God willing, will be a complete eclipse in Makkah Al -Mukarramah, and partly 90% in the rest of the Arab Gulf countries. He added that this unique event will be an opportunity to arrange to perform Umrah on this date, as the duration of the total eclipse will reach “complete darkness” about 6 minutes at the peak, at 10.27 am. Noting that the eclipse in Mecca will start at 9:02 am and end at 11:44 am.
Dr. Al -Nasser is that among the travel equipment for Umrah is to provide special glasses to monitor the eclipse, especially since it is expected that the eclipse prayer in the Great Mosque of Mecca will be performed. He suggested that the hotel be seized in Mecca from now, as it will be filled with pilgrims to perform Umrah, eclipse prayer, and follow this unique cosmic event.
