Complete Time Zone Guide for Qatar

SyncMyTime displays accurate time for Doha and Qatari regions. Arabia Standard Time (AST, UTC+3) is maintained year-round.

Time Zone History

Qatar adopted Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) aligning with Gulf neighbors. The country has never implemented daylight saving time, maintaining year-round consistency crucial for Qatar's massive LNG operations, aviation hub (Hamad International Airport), and preparation for major events like the 2022 FIFA World Cup which required precise global coordination.

Culture & Daily Rhythm

Qatari daily life blends traditional Bedouin values with ultra-modern development. The workweek runs Sunday-Thursday with Friday as the primary day of prayer. Business hours often run 7 AM-2 PM during summer heat. Qatar operates as a 24-hour city with malls and restaurants open late. Ramadan shifts schedules significantly. The massive expat population creates diverse timing customs.
