What you'll see in Kairouan
Artist's impression. The Sun's height above the rooftops is its real altitude from Kairouan; the skyline itself is generic.
Kairouan gets 2m45s — the path's northern edge passes just south of the city, so the length is roughly half what Sfax sees an hour down the coast.
The Sun is high in the sky here, so unlike a low-horizon eclipse you do not need a distant, unobstructed skyline — but a courtyard or a narrow street can still put a rooftop in the way. Step somewhere with open sky overhead.
⚠ Eye safety
Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses for the entire partial phase. The ONLY exception is 10:08:57–10:11:42 UTC+1, when the Sun is fully covered from Kairouan.
