Qibla direction in Slovenia
The Qibla in Slovenia lies towards the south-east. Depending on the city the angle from true north ranges from 129.5° in Piran to 135.1° in Hodoš, and the Kaaba is between 3,495 km and 3,648 km away. The table gives the exact bearing for 212 cities.
Stand facing true north, then turn clockwise by the angle of your city. A phone compass shows magnetic north, which in Slovenia 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 5.6°. Metlika is the closest to the Kaaba (3,495 km) and Bovec the farthest (3,648 km). The farther apart two cities are, the more their bearings to Makkah diverge, which is why the angle of the capital, 131.5°, 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.
