Compared with Kuwait City, Dhuhr in Al Ahmadi practically coincides with Kuwait City, and on the 21 June Maghrib is called 1 minute earlier than in the capital. Al Ahmadi is 51 km from the capital, towards the south. For this reason we calculate every city with its own coordinates rather than using one timetable for the whole country.
Finding the Qibla from Al Ahmadi
In Al Ahmadi you pray towards the south-west, at an angle of 226.4° from true north; the Kaaba is 1,170 km away. This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Al Ahmadi 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.
