The qibla is the direction of the Kaaba in Makkah, computed as a great-circle bearing from Dallas (32.7767°, -96.7970°). Use a compass and face the computed bearing from true north.

Formula

bearing = atan2( sin(dLng), cos(lat) * tan(21.4225) - sin(lat) * cos(dLng) )
dLng = 39.8262 - longitude   (Kaaba: 21.4225 N, 39.8262 E)
distance = 6371 * 2 * atan2( sqrt(a), sqrt(1-a) )  (great-circle, km)

Example

From Dallas: bearing = 43.51 degrees = North-East. Distance = 12,430 km.
