Finding the Qibla from Jericho
From Jericho you pray towards the south, at an angle of 158.4° from true north; the Kaaba is 1,240 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Jericho 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.
