Compared with Astana, Dhuhr in Shu comes about 9 minutes earlier than in Astana, and on the 21 June Maghrib is called 44 minutes earlier than in the capital. Shu is 860 km from the capital, towards the south. For this reason we calculate every city separately instead of using one timetable for the whole country.

From Shu you pray towards the south-west, at an angle of 242.7° from true north; the Kaaba is 3,980 km away. This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Shu and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E).
