Frequently asked questions
Is the Qibla in Évreux exactly east-south-east?
Not exactly. The precise bearing is 118.0° from true north; east-south-east is the nearest compass point.
Why isn’t the Qibla simply south-east from the UK or east from the US?
The Qibla follows the shortest path over the curved Earth (a great circle), so on a flat map it can look different from a straight line.
