What you'll see in Sanaa

Artist's impression of totality over Sanaa: 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 Sanaa; the skyline itself is generic.

Sana'a sees 2m39s of totality at 2,250m altitude — the path's edge crosses Yemen's capital, so the highlands south of it see longer.

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 13:44:15–13:46:54 UTC+3, when the Sun is fully covered from Sanaa.
