What you will see
Al ‘Amārah is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:20:49 local time, the Moon hides 53.9% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 12:08:27 and ends at 14:28:30, 2 h 20 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 67° above the horizon, towards the south-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Al ‘Amārah.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,289 km south-west of Al ‘Amārah.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is King Abdullah City, about 1,310 km south-west, where totality lasts 3 m 02 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
