Major with a flattened sixth: the mirror of harmonic minor, and the reason a major key can borrow a minor subdominant.

The same sounds spelled from the other side are D♯ harmonic major.

Fig. 2 · Eb harmonic major, ascending

Every accidental is written in, rather than left to a key signature, so the letters can be read one at a time.

What is true of it

E♭ harmonic major is E♭, F, G, A♭, B♭, C♭ and D, and back to E♭.

Its steps are W – W – H – W – H – W+H – H, where W is a whole step and H a half.

On the same tonic, E♭ major differs from it by exactly one note.

Across the first twelve frets of the ukulele its notes fall in 29 places, which is what makes a scale a shape rather than a list.
