Masakin lies 125 km south of Tunis, so Dhuhr in Masakin comes roughly 2 minutes earlier than in Tunis. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Masakin.
Qibla in Masakin and distance to Makkah
In Masakin you pray towards the east, at an angle of 111.4° from true north; the Kaaba is 3,250 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Masakin 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.
