What you will see
Aqaba is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:03:56 local time, the Moon hides 88.7% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 11:41:43 and ends at 14:22:34, 2 h 41 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 78° above the horizon, towards the south, so you want a clear view in that direction from Aqaba.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 338 km south-west of Aqaba.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Al Quşayr, about 387 km south, where totality lasts 2 m 19 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.
