A rare partial solar eclipse on Tuesday was witnessed in several countries in the Middle East.

Let's enjoy the incredible scenes caught on cameras in Egypt, Lebanon, Tunisia, Syria, Kuwait, Jordan, Israel and Türkiye.

At noon, up to a quarter of the sun was hidden by the moon as it passed between the star and the earth. It was the second and final solar eclipse this year, which can only be visible from some areas of the Earth, including Europe, Africa and Asia.
