To pray from Khartoum, Sudan, face 49° — that is NE of true north. This is the shortest (great-circle) direction to the Kaaba in Mecca, calculated from Khartoum’s coordinates (15.552°, 32.532°).

Note a magnetic compass points to magnetic north, which differs from true north by the local declination — the NURA app corrects for this automatically.
