About the direction from Casablanca
Casablanca is on Morocco's Atlantic coast, far west of Makkah. The coastal orientation is not the Qibla; the displayed angle is the initial direction of the great-circle route across North Africa.
How to face 94° in Casablanca
- Find true north using a phone compass that reports true heading or a map aligned to north.
- Turn clockwise from north by 94°. For reference, due east is 90°, south 180°, west 270°.
- If you use a magnetic compass, adjust for local magnetic declination; NOAA's declination calculator gives the current value for Casablanca.
The figure is the great-circle initial bearing, the standard approach described by Movable Type Scripts and the same idea behind Google's Qibla Finder. See how it works for the details.
