What you will see
Wadi Halfa is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 12:09:04 local time, the Moon hides 89.6% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 10:42:58 and ends at 13:31:02, 2 h 48 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 86° above the horizon, towards the south-west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Wadi Halfa.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 312 km north-east of Wadi Halfa.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Darāw, about 331 km north-east, where totality lasts 3 m 08 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.
