Have you tried suncalc.org.  Questions asking for websites tend to dissolve into fairly unsortable lists.

Any planetarium software will do this.

[Horizons](https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons/) can give you Apparent azimuth & elevation.

Does this answer your question? [Where can I find the positions of the planets, stars, moons, artificial satellites, etc. and visualize them?](https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/questions/13488/where-can-i-find-the-positions-of-the-planets-stars-moons-artificial-satellit)

That's a good point - the community wiki answer to my proposed dupe lacks a good section for websites. Probably your suncalc.org plus things like https://www.gaisma.com/en/ (less useful in this case) need a section of their own in the wiki. I think that when this is closed both proposed dupes will show up, so I won't withdraw mine.
