What you will see
Berber is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 12:21:20 local time, the Moon hides 83.1% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 10:55:11 and ends at 13:41:39, 2 h 46 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 83° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Berber.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 479 km north-east of Berber.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Hala'ib, about 544 km north-east, where totality lasts 5 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.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
