During praying, Muslims face the direction of Kaaba (if close to it or if residing in Mecca city) or the direction of Mecca (Makkah) city that is currently located in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia (if located outside Mecca) or the direction of Saudi Arabia (if located much far away from Saudi Arabia).
My textbook is in front of me, and one of the Fiver Pillars of Muslim is Prayer. In the pillar of Prayer it says "five times a day, Muslims face toward Mecca to pray."
Should take the direction of Makkah (or Mecca) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Why do Muslims carry a prayer mat and a compass with them to work?

Praise be to Allaah. When Muslims pray, they face the direction of the Ka'bah 1- When you stand up to pray, face the direction of the Ka'bah wherever you are, in both fard (obligatory) and naafil (supererogatory) prayers. This is one of the pillars of prayer, without which prayer is not valid. 2- The obligation of facing the direction of prayer does not apply to one who is engaged in warfare, when he prays the fear prayer (salaat al-khawf) or is engaged in heavy fighting. It also does not apply to those who are unable to do it, such as one who is sick, or one who is traveling on a ship, in a car or on a plane, if they fear that the time of the prayer will elapse (before they reach a place where they can find the correct direction). And it does not apply to one who is praying a naafil prayer or Witr prayer whilst riding on a riding-animal etc., but it is mustahabb for him to face the qiblah if he is able to do so when pronouncing the takbeer of ihraam (at the beginning of the prayer), then he may face whatever direction he is facing. 3- Everyone who can see the Ka'bah must face it; those who cannot see it must face its direction. Ruling on not facing the Ka'bah in prayer by mistake: 4- If a person prays not facing the qiblah, because of clouds [preventing him from working out the direction from the position of the sun] or some other reason, after he did his best to work out the right direction, his prayer is valid and he does not have to repeat it. 5- If someone whom he trusts comes - whilst he is praying - and tells him of the right direction, then he must hasten to turn that way, and his prayer is valid.

What direction do Muslims face to pray in Mexico?

Get a globe and a piece of string. Put one end of the string at Mecca and the other at Mexico. The direction of the string is the direction they face. Members of the Baha'i Faith likewise, only they face Bahji in northern Israel, but only for certain prayers.Mecca is almost exactly due east of Mexico City, so facing due east should be proper.
