Prayer times by region in Qatar
Our pages in Qatar are organised in 8 regions. Choose your region, then your city: each page has its own coordinates, which is why the times change by a few minutes from one place to the next, east to west and north to south.
How prayer times are calculated in Qatar
Times for Qatar use the Qatar Ministry of Awqaf method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. Times are shown in local time (UTC+3). In the capital Doha, Fajr is around 3:15 AM and Maghrib 6:27 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 4:53 AM and Maghrib at 4:49 PM. Daylight there ranges from 10 h 34 min to 13 h 43 min.
Our cities in Qatar stretch from Umm Ghuwaylīnah in the west to Al Wakrah in the east, and from Madinat ash Shamal in the north to Al Wakrah in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Al Wakrah about 2 minutes before Umm Ghuwaylīnah, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Doha cannot replace that of your own city.
