How to face the qibla in Edmonton

Stand facing true north, then turn clockwise by 25.3° — a little past northeast — and you are facing the Kaaba, 11,293 km away in Makkah. The easiest reliable way to do this indoors is with a map: draw a line from your position at 25.3° and align yourself with it, or simply use the interactive finder above, which reads your device orientation and location.

If you use a physical compass, remember that it points to magnetic north. Depending on the local magnetic declination, the needle can be several degrees off true north, and nearby metal or electronics can disturb it further — so treat a magnetic compass reading as approximate.

Can I use my phone compass to find the qibla?

Yes — but phone compasses point to magnetic north, which can differ from true north by several degrees depending on where you are, and they are easily disturbed by metal and electronics. For an accurate reading, use our interactive Qibla finder, which uses your exact location, or align the bearing of 25.3° with a map instead of a magnetic compass.

Is this bearing exact?

The bearing is computed with the standard great-circle formula from the centre of Edmonton to the Kaaba (21.4225°N, 39.8262°E), so it is exact for that point. Within the city it varies by a fraction of a degree — far less than the accepted margin when facing the qibla.
