What you will see
Āykel is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:37:45 local time, the Moon hides 73.3% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 12:13:16 and ends at 14:54:49, 2 h 42 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 75° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Āykel.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 734 km north-east of Āykel.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Jizan, about 762 km north-east, where totality lasts 3 m 06 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.
