Qibla Direction in Makkah

From Makkah, the Qibla points 172.7° — a bearing measured along the great-circle path to the Kaaba in Makkah, roughly 0.5 km (0.3 mi) away.

Local mosques and community calculations in Saudi Arabia typically follow the Umm al-Qura, Makkah convention. Prayer times here shift gradually with the seasons, most noticeably around Fajr and Isha.
