Muscat sits at 23.5880°N, 58.3829°E, while Singapore is located at 1.3521°N, 103.8198°E. The initial compass bearing from Muscat to Singapore is 110° (ESE), so a great-circle flight path leaves Muscat heading roughly ESE. Because the Earth is curved, the actual heading shifts gradually along the route — pilots and navigation systems update it continuously instead of holding a single fixed compass bearing.
The latitude difference is 22.24° and the longitude difference is 45.44°. Each degree of latitude represents about 111 km, which is one reason cross-latitude routes feel longer even when the map looks similar to east–west journeys.
