What you will see

At the peak the Sun is 68° above the horizon, towards the north-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Āwash.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 808 km north-east of Āwash.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Āl Ma‘ūdah, about 812 km north-east, where totality lasts 1 m 23 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.
