What you'll see in Khamis Mushait

Artist's impression of totality over Khamis Mushait: the Moon fully covering the Sun, with the corona showing around it.

Artist's impression. The Sun's height above the rooftops is its real altitude from Khamis Mushait; the skyline itself is generic.

Khamis Mushait gets a full 6m00s of totality at 2,000m in the Asir highlands, where August cloud is more likely than on 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 13:34:41–13:40:41 UTC+3, when the Sun is fully covered from Khamis Mushait.
