Qibla direction finder
Face the Kaaba from anywhere. For your exact location, open the Qibla finder.
How SalaamStreet finds the Qibla
- It works out the great-circle direction from your location to the Kaaba in Makkah — the shortest path over the Earth's surface.
- Your phone's compass points to magnetic north, which can be 15–20° away from true north in some places. SalaamStreet corrects for that with the World Magnetic Model (WMM2025).
- Turn until the Kaaba marker reaches the pointer — or use Camera Mode, which shows the direction over your camera view and vibrates once you're facing the Qibla.
Everything is calculated on your device. Phone compasses can be thrown off by metal and magnets nearby — move away from them and wave the phone in a figure-8 to calibrate.
