What you'll see in Mecca
Artist's impression. The Sun's height above the rooftops is its real altitude from Mecca; the skyline itself is generic.
Mecca sees 5m10s of totality with the Sun 76° high, well inside the path.
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 13:24:06–13:29:16 UTC+3, when the Sun is fully covered from Mecca.
