Blue Nile is located 512 km south of Khartoum, so Dhuhr in Blue Nile is called about 6 minutes earlier than in Khartoum. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Blue Nile.

This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Blue Nile 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.
