From Krakow you pray towards the south-east, at an angle of 144.1° from true north; the Kaaba is 3,630 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Krakow and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
