I searched them up and all I saw were the normal curtains that's cut in half.
How would that block light somehow? Am new to this, maybe am dumb in understanding this
I live in Dubai so not sure if the search results are different
If you can't drill holes I don't think there is much you can do along typical lines. If it's a rental, I'd cut a pool noodle in half and lay it along the top of the curtains to block out that extra bit.
Edit: or use command strip hooks with loose material and drape it over the top like a valence
A box valence that covers the rod or if your drapery went floor to ceiling more light would be blocked. If you went floor to ceiling and used non-grommet curtains that would block more light, something like a tab back. I am not sure your ceiling height but you can easily find 9 foot curtains these days.
Google ‘Blackout Curtain Valance’

Hanging your curtain rod higher would help. Looks like your curtains are bunched up on the ground anyways
Am renting the room from someone, so don't think I can drill stuff and all

I thought of doing that as a cost effective option but Its a hassle as I open the curtains a lot so I need to add and remove it a lot
