Al Maḩāwīl lies 73 km south of Baghdad, so Dhuhr in Al Maḩāwīl comes at almost exactly the same time as Baghdad. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Al Maḩāwīl.
Qibla direction in Al Maḩāwīl
From Al Maḩāwīl you face towards the south, at an angle of 201.0° from true north; the Kaaba is 1,329 km away.

Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
