Compared with Addis Ababa, Dhuhr in Dēra comes at almost exactly the same time as Addis Ababa, and on the 21 June Maghrib arrives 2 minutes earlier than in the capital. Dēra is 70 km from the capital, towards the south. That is why we calculate each place with its own coordinates rather than using one timetable for the whole country.
Finding the Qibla from Dēra
From Dēra you face towards the north, at an angle of 4.0° from true north; the Kaaba is 1,452 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Dēra 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.
