How this direction is calculated
The 206° (SW) figure is a great-circle bearing: the initial heading, measured clockwise from true north, of the shortest path over the Earth’s surface from Ufa (54.7388, 55.9721) to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). A magnetic compass does not point to true north — the angle between magnetic and true north, called magnetic declination, varies from place to place and drifts from year to year, so a raw compass reading can sit several degrees off. The live qibla tool compensates: it uses your device’s location and orientation sensors to apply the correction and point to the Kaaba from wherever you actually stand.

Frequently asked questions
What is the qibla direction from Ufa?
From Ufa, the qibla bears 206° (SW) from true north — the great-circle direction to the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies about 3,944 km (2,451 miles) away.
Is that bearing from true north or magnetic north?
True north. A magnetic compass needle points to magnetic north, and the offset between the two — magnetic declination — varies by location and changes over the years, so a raw compass reading can be several degrees off. The live tool at /qibla/ compensates using your device’s sensors.
Does the qibla direction change over time in Ufa?
No. For a fixed location the bearing to the Kaaba never changes; it only changes when you move. The figure on this page is computed from Ufa’s city coordinates, so for a bearing precise to your room, use the live tool, which recalculates from your own position.
