Finding the Qibla from El-Tor
In El-Tor you pray towards the south-east, at an angle of 139.1° from true north; the Kaaba is 983 km away. This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of El-Tor and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Remember that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
