What you will see
Sharjah is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 14:43:49 local time, the Moon hides 52.5% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 13:33:53 and ends at 15:47:45, 2 h 14 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 57° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Sharjah.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,361 km south-west of Sharjah.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Al Māfūd, about 1,398 km south-west, where totality lasts 3 m 31 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.
