Suwayda lies 94 km south of Damascus, so Dhuhr in Suwayda is called about 1 minute earlier than in Damascus. The gap is due to longitude: each degree moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Suwayda.

In Suwayda you face towards the south, at an angle of 164.8° from true north; the Kaaba is 1,296 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Suwayda and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E).
