It depends where on the earth you are. We pray facing the House of God in Mecca. If you are in America you would face East or North East. If you are in Europe you would be facing South East or South, etc. In India and China you would face West.

Is qibla direction towards sunset?

it is quite simple ... wherever you are you should search about the Makka- Al qaaba location... for example if you are in USA you should pray to the east direction because Makka is in the east of you... if you are in Germany you should pray to the east south.... if you are on a board of ship or plane just pray regardless to the direction... if you are in a place and you do not know the directions .. you can presume the direction of makka from the sun rise and sunset directions ... if it is impossible to do all of this things ... it is not a problem to pray to any direction ... because you pray to Allah not to the direction.
