Accurate great-circle Qibla direction with GPS location or city selection.
What is the Qibla Direction Finder?
Find the direction of the Qibla (the Kaaba in Makkah) from anywhere in the world. Choose your city or use your phone’s GPS location to get the exact angle from true North, the compass direction and the distance to the Kaaba. On phones, turn on the live compass and rotate until the Kaaba icon points straight up.
The direction is calculated using the great-circle (shortest path) formula, the same method used by Islamic scholars and mapping apps.
How to use the Qibla Direction Finder
- Choose your city or tap “Use my location”.
- Read the Qibla angle from North.
- On a phone, tap “Use phone compass” and turn until you face the Qibla.

Frequently asked questions
Is the phone compass accurate?
Phone compasses can be affected by metal, magnets and cases – calibrate by moving the phone in a figure-8.
Why is it not exactly West from Pakistan?
Because the Earth is round, the shortest path to Makkah bends slightly south of west.
Is my location saved?
