L-Għarb is located 33 km north-west of Valletta, so Dhuhr in L-Għarb comes about 1 minute later than in Valletta. The gap is due to longitude: each degree shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in L-Għarb.

From L-Għarb you pray towards the south-east, at an angle of 116.3° from true north; the Kaaba is 2,966 km away.
