From Shima you face towards the west, at an angle of 279.1° from true north; the Kaaba is 6,621 km away. This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Shima 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.
