Qibla in Mer’āwī and distance to Makkah
From Mer’āwī you pray towards the north, at an angle of 13.9° from true north; the Kaaba is 1,148 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Mer’āwī 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.
