What you will see
Burj Islām is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 12:56:33 local time, the Moon hides 66% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 11:40:28 and ends at 14:10:12, 2 h 30 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 72° above the horizon, towards the south, so you want a clear view in that direction from Burj Islām.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 933 km south-west of Burj Islām.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Samālūţ, about 949 km south-west, where totality lasts 2 m 49 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.
