Qibla direction in Guinea
The Qibla in Guinea lies towards the east. Depending on the city the angle from true north ranges from 68.2° in Lola to 72.4° in Koundara, and the Kaaba is between 5,301 km and 5,912 km away. The table gives the exact bearing for 46 cities.
Stand facing true north, then turn clockwise by the angle of your city. A phone compass shows magnetic north, which in Guinea can differ from true north by a few degrees; our Qibla finder corrects this automatically when your phone reports true heading.
Why the Qibla changes across the country
Between the cities in the table the Qibla angle varies by 4.2°. Mandiana is the closest to the Kaaba (5,301 km) and Kamsar the farthest (5,912 km). The farther apart two cities are, the more their bearings to Makkah diverge, which is why the angle of the capital, 70.3°, should not be used everywhere.
Inside a mosque, the mihrab already shows the Qibla. Elsewhere, a compass app, the position of the sun or our Qibla finder can be used; scholars agree that facing the general direction is enough when the exact angle cannot be known.
