Finding the Qibla from Naivasha
In Naivasha you pray towards the north, at an angle of 8.3° from true north; the Kaaba is 2,489 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Naivasha 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.
