What is the Qibla?
The Qibla is the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca (Makkah) that Muslims face for the five daily prayers. Each city's Qibla is the great-circle bearing - the shortest path over the Earth's surface - expressed in degrees clockwise from true north. It is fixed for a location, so it never changes for a given city. Pick a city above for its exact bearing, distance to Mecca and a live compass, and see daily prayer times too.
