Doha Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Doha, Qatar

Prayer times in Doha are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (25.29°N). We use the Qatar method, the one followed across Qatar. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Doha's times use the Qatar method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Qatar. They are drawn from Doha's own coordinates (25.2854°N, 51.5310°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Doha's prayer times are worked out

From Doha, the Qibla is 253° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,269 km (789 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Doha's own coordinates (25.29°N, 51.53°E), not a national average. That is why Doha's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Doha timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Doha lies well east inside its Qatar time zone. So the sun peaks about 19 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:39 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 12m near June down to 11h 56m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Doha come from Qatar's Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs. The Qatar method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Al Maţār al ‘Atīq, Al Rayyan and Al Wakrah. Each is only a few minutes off Doha's clock.
