What you'll see in Oran
Artist's impression. The Sun's height above the rooftops is its real altitude from Oran; the skyline itself is generic.
Oran sees 5m08s of totality with the Sun 43° above the Mediterranean — the first city on the path to pass five minutes.
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 09:51:10–09:56:18 UTC+1, when the Sun is fully covered from Oran.
