At the peak the Sun is 76° above the horizon, towards the south, so you want a clear view in that direction from Karak City.

Seeing totality

The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Al Quşayr, about 581 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.
