What you will see
Qaţanā is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:00:06 local time, the Moon hides 73% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 11:41:44 and ends at 14:15:31, 2 h 34 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 74° above the horizon, towards the south, so you want a clear view in that direction from Qaţanā.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 748 km south-west of Qaţanā.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Samālūţ, about 766 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.
