The answer is north, the Polaris is located north from the celestial equator.


If you go as far north as the North Pole, you'll see Polaris directly overhead. As you travel south, Polaris drops closer to the northern horizon. If you get as far as the equator, Polaris sinks to the horizon. South of the equator, Polaris drops out of the sky.
