In general the sun appears to rise from an easterly diection. Obviously because of the tilt of the Earth the exact direction appears slightly different everyday of the year and the location at which the person stands on the Earth. On two days of the year, the Equinoxes, the sun appears to rise in the East and set on the West for everybody.
