What you will see
Muscat is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 14:50:37 local time, the Moon hides 50.2% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 13:42:42 and ends at 15:52:30, 2 h 10 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 53° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Muscat.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,445 km south-west of Muscat.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Al Jawl, about 1,470 km south-west, where totality lasts 3 m 18 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.
