Three ways to face the qibla from Port Orange

  1. 1. Phone compass

    Open a compass app, move the phone in a figure of 8 to calibrate, keep it away from metal, then turn until the compass reads 55°.

  2. 2. Start from east

    Face east, then turn 35° to the left. A right angle is 90°, so 35° is about a third of a right angle.

  3. 3. The sun's shadow

    Twice a year the sun is directly above the Kaaba. At that moment the shadow of any upright object points directly away from the qibla.

Keeping the compass accurate

  • Remove magnetic cases and keep the phone away from laptops, speakers and steel frames.
  • Hold the phone flat. A compass points to magnetic north, while the degrees on this page are measured from true north, so the reading can differ slightly.
  • Compare with the direction of the rows in a nearby mosque.

Frequently asked questions

What is the qibla direction from Port Orange in degrees?

55.41° from true north, measured clockwise — towards the north-east.

How can I find the qibla without a compass?

Face east and turn 35° to the left. More precisely, when the sun is directly above the Kaaba the qibla is the direction towards the sun.

What is the difference between true north and compass north?

True north points to the geographic North Pole. A compass needle points to the magnetic pole, which is in a slightly different place, so a compass reading can differ from the degrees on this page.

Do I need to share my location to see the qibla?
