What you will see
Kināna is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 12:26:55 local time, the Moon hides 67.6% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 11:02:08 and ends at 13:45:32, 2 h 43 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 81° above the horizon, towards the north-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Kināna.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 878 km north-east of Kināna.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Hala'ib, about 981 km north, 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.
