Maga is located 863 km north-east of Yaoundé, so Dhuhr in Maga is called roughly 14 minutes earlier than in Yaoundé. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Maga.
Qibla in Maga and distance to Makkah
From Maga you face towards the north-east, at an angle of 63.0° from true north; the Kaaba is 2,901 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Maga and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
