Check the Qibla with the sun in Casablanca
Twice a year the sun stands straight above the Kaaba: around 27 or 28 May at 09:18 UTC, and around 15 or 16 July at 09:27 UTC. At that moment, wherever the sun is up, the shadow of an upright stick points exactly away from the Qibla.
In Casablanca that is about 10:18 local time (UTC+01:00) in late May, and 10:27 in mid-July. The sun is then about 47° above the horizon, so you can mark the shadow of a stick or a plumb line on level ground and compare it with your compass.
