Which direction is Mecca?


This is a poor photo but it coveys the idea. This photo was taken looking up at the ceiling of the hotel (most ceilings in most hotels are similar). Here you can sort of see the arrow on the disc which is pointing to Mecca.

When prayer time rolls around (5 times a day) you can look up and make sure that you and you prayer mat are facing the right way.
