Practical tips
- · Qibla from Seoul is roughly west-northwest (~295°). A compass app + "Mecca direction" works anywhere.
- · Carry a travel prayer mat — most musallas provide mats but airports may not.
- · For wudu outside a mosque, accessible/family restrooms are the most practical.
- · During Ramadan, mosques host iftar; halal restaurants near Itaewon extend hours.
