To pray from Giza, Egypt, face 136° — that is SE of true north. This is the shortest (great-circle) direction to the Kaaba in Mecca, calculated from Giza’s coordinates (30.009°, 31.209°).
Note a magnetic compass points to magnetic north, which differs from true north by the local declination — the NURA app corrects for this automatically.
