From Kuwait City, the Qibla points south-west toward the Kaaba in Makkah. Use your location and the phone compass for a live arrow.

How the Qibla is calculated
The tool calculates the great-circle bearing from your position to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). From Kuwait City this is roughly 225° measured clockwise from true north. On a phone, turn on the compass, hold the device flat, and keep it away from magnets and metal. If the arrow looks wrong, move the phone in a figure-eight to calibrate the sensor.
For daily prayer times see Prayer times in Kuwait. Compass sensors can be inaccurate indoors, so confirm with the marked Qibla direction in a mosque or hotel room when possible.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Qibla direction in Kuwait?
Roughly 225° from true north, which is south-west.

Using a direction reading safely
Allow your device to calibrate and keep it away from cars, speakers, magnetic phone cases and other metal objects. A compass can be affected by local magnetic interference, so a sudden jump in the direction is a reason to recalibrate rather than rely on one reading.
Check your location and device
- Enable location permission and confirm the selected location is in Kuwait.
- Move to an open area and hold the phone flat.
- Follow the on-screen calibration instructions if the reading is unstable.
- Compare with a trusted local mosque or a second reliable Qibla source when precision matters.
