Towards the west. In Kota Bharu it is 291.03°, measured clockwise from true north; the other cities of Kelantan lie between 291° and 292°.
Is the qibla the same everywhere in Kelantan?
Nearly, but not exactly. The qibla is the shortest path over the globe to the Kaaba, so the bearing changes a little from place to place. Use the page of your own city.

The bearings are measured from true north. A magnetic compass can be several degrees off depending on where you are, so check it with the sun method described on your city's page.
