About Cape Town
Cape Town is home to the Cape Malay Muslim community — one of the oldest Muslim communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Descended from slaves and political exiles brought by the Dutch East India Company from Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and India, the Bo-Kaap neighbourhood is the historic heart of Cape Muslim culture. Cape Town's Muslim community represents around 10% of the city's population and has preserved a unique tradition of Islamic scholarship, food culture, and architecture for over 300 years.
From Cape Town, the Qibla (direction of the Kaaba in Makkah) is 23.4° from true north (NNE), a great-circle distance of about 6,558 km.
