Qatar Time Zone is very important for calculating the exact time difference with all the major countries of the world. Qatar is a country in the Middle East, surrounded by the Persian Gulf on all sides and Saudi Arabia to the southern side. The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of the country also determines the time zone of Qatar. The country extends from 25º30' north to 51º15' east. This location helps in deciding the time zone in Qatar. The time zone of Qatar is also based on the Greenwich Mean Time. The exact time can be calculated by taking the Greenwich Mean Time as the reference.
Qatar Time Zone is ahead of Greenwich Mean Time by three hours. If it is 0600hours in Greenwich, the local time at Qatar will be 0900hours. The standard time zones in the world are measured by dividing the earth into 24 sections, which are again bordered by meridians. Each meridian is 15º apart from each other. This longitudinal difference helps in calculation of time. In Qatar, daylight saving time is not accepted. The Prime Meridian is at 0º, other time zones can be calculated keeping the Prime Meridian as the central point. Sunrise, sunset, tides and lunar cycle of the country are also dependent on Qatar Time Zone.
