Sava is located 588 km north-east of Antananarivo, so Dhuhr in Sava comes roughly 11 minutes earlier than in Antananarivo. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Sava.
Finding the Qibla from Sava
In Sava you pray towards the north, at an angle of 343.9° from true north; the Kaaba is 4,126 km away.
