What you will see
Ādēt is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:40:57 local time, the Moon hides 70.3% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 12:17:07 and ends at 14:57:09, 2 h 40 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 73° above the horizon, towards the north-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Ādēt.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 812 km north-east of Ādēt.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Aslam, about 826 km north-east, where totality lasts 1 m 47 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.
