Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

You can use a compass that can determine the direction of the Qiblah according to the attached label. Also, you can ask those who know the Qiblah among the people of that town. Moreover, if there are mosques in these towns, then you can depend on the direction of the prayer niche of them. If you cannot find anything of what has been mentioned previously, then seek the advice of those who work in the Islamic centers in these towns.

Allaah Knows best.
