Finding the Qibla from Mara
From Mara you face towards the north, at an angle of 14.1° from true north; the Kaaba is 2,632 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Mara and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Remember that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
