Qatar is a country in the Middle East.
Qatar Time is based on the geographical location of the country. Qatar is encompassed by the Persian Gulf almost from all sides and by Saudi Arabia on the southern side. The country extends from 25º30' north to 51º15' east. The
time in Qatar is completely dependent on this latitudinal and longitudinal extent of the country. The
local time of Qatar is calculated keeping the Greenwich Mean Time as a reference. This works well for calculating local time of a place all over the world.
Qatar Time is three hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. If Greenwich Mean Time reads 12 noon, it will be 1500hrs in Qatar. Daylight Saving Time is not applied when one talks about Qatar local time. Knowing the difference with the Greenwich Mean Time, it becomes very easy to calculate the
local time of Qatar from any part of the world.
Sunrise, sunset, moon rise, moonset and the timing of the tides are also dependent on the local time in Qatar. These timings vary a little with the change of seasons. During the winter months of December-February, the sun rises a little late at about 6.20am and sets at about 5.15pm on average. During the summer months, sun rises quite early around 4.45am and sets quite delayed at around 6.15pm.
