To pray from Marrakesh, Morocco, face 91° — that is E of true north. This is the shortest (great-circle) direction to the Kaaba in Mecca, calculated from Marrakesh’s coordinates (31.634°, -8.000°).

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