- At greatest eclipse the Sun is 42° above the horizon, in the south-east.
- The whole eclipse, from first bite to last, lasts about 1 h 24 min.
- The nearest place on our list with totality is Sétif, Algeria, about 2,670 km away in a straight line, with 3 min 20 s of totality.
Is it worth going out?
Worth a look with eclipse glasses or a pinhole projector, especially around 11:13. At 13.8% most people would not notice the dimming without them.
Never look at the partly covered Sun without eclipse glasses that meet ISO 12312-2. In this city there is no totality, so you need them the whole time. How to tell if your glasses are safe.
