What you'll see in Tripoli
Artist's impression. The size of the bite is the 99.9%+ published for Tripoli, the side the Moon crosses from is its real position angle at maximum, and the Sun's height above the rooftops is its real altitude. The skyline itself is generic.
Tripoli sits right on the northern limit of the path. The published circumstances make it a 99.9%+ miss, but an independent computation puts the city itself just inside, with about 40 seconds of totality — and a few kilometres south it is definitively partial. If you are here, going north is worth it.
Keep eclipse glasses on for the whole event — the Moon never fully covers the Sun here, so it is never safe to look without them, even at maximum.
⚠ Eye safety
Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses for the entire partial phase. There is no safe moment to remove them in this city — the Sun is never fully covered.
