From the cities below the Qibla runs from 114.1° (east-southeast) in Dublin to 119.5° (east-southeast) in Edinburgh, measured clockwise from true north. Each bearing follows the great circle, the shortest path over the globe, so it differs by about 15° to 18° from a straight line drawn on a flat Mercator map.
A regular compass points to magnetic north, not true north, so it needs a different number. Across these cities magnetic declination (WMM2025, November 2026) runs from 1.1° W in Dublin to 1.2° E in London; the magnetic column already allows for it. The nearest city to the Kaaba here is London at 2,979 miles, the furthest Glasgow at 3,271 miles.

Calculated for each city centre with the same great-circle formula as the Qibla Finder (Kaaba at 21.4225° N, 39.8262° E, mean earth radius 6,371 km). Magnetic bearing = true bearing minus declination (east positive), from NOAA's World Magnetic Model 2025 for November 2026. Your own bearing varies a little across a city; use the live finder for your exact spot.
