What you will see
Ārabī is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:52:20 local time, the Moon hides 80.3% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 12:29:35 and ends at 15:06:34, 2 h 37 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 66° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Ārabī.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 558 km north-east of Ārabī.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Mukayrās, about 562 km north-east, where totality lasts 1 m 09 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.
