Qibla direction finder
The Qibla is the direction of the Kaaba in Makkah, which Muslims face in prayer. Share your location (it is used only inside your browser) or search for a city, and the compass shows the bearing in degrees from true north.
How to use it
- Allow location access, or search for your city.
- Note the bearing: 0° is true north, 90° is east, 180° is south.
- On a phone, start the live compass and turn until the Kaaba on the gold needle is under the green pointer.
Phone compasses read magnetic north, which can differ from true north by several degrees. Keep the phone flat and away from metal and magnets.
