Mozambique lies 1,482 km north-east of Maputo, so Dhuhr in Mozambique is called about 33 minutes earlier than in Maputo. This difference comes from longitude: each degree shifts solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Mozambique.

From Mozambique you pray towards the north, at an angle of 358.6° from true north; the Kaaba is 4,055 km away. This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Mozambique and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E).
