Coordinate systems in Qatar: quick reference
Qatar has one of the clearest datum successions in the Arab world: the Qatar 1948 datum with the old Qatar Grid (EPSG:2099), then Qatar 1974 with the Qatar National Grid (EPSG:28600), and finally the current national datum QND95 (EPSG:4614), which carries the modern national grid (EPSG:2932) used by government bodies today.
Numbers on old and new Qatari sheets can look deceptively similar because the two national grids (on Qatar 1974 and on QND95) use nearly the same projection — but the datums differ, and mixing them shifts a point by metres. Always check the datum stated in the sheet’s title block before converting.
The tool below opens on a Doha sample point, lists the Qatari systems first, and returns the value in every system covering your point with a per-system accuracy badge.
| EPSG | System | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|
| 4614 | QND95(geographic) | ±0.1 m |
| 2932 | QND95 / Qatar National Grid(projected grid) | ±0.1 m |
| 4285 | Qatar 1974(geographic) | ±0.1 m |
| 28600 | Qatar 1974 / Qatar National Grid(projected grid) | ±1 m |
| 4286 | Qatar 1948(geographic) | ±0.1 m |
| 2099 | Qatar 1948 / Qatar Grid(projected grid) | ±0.1 m |
The tool covers 7 systems relevant to Qatar (national systems plus the WGS84 UTM zones) — the table above lists only the key ones.
FAQ
- Which coordinate system does Qatar use?
- The current national datum is QND95 with the Qatar National Grid (EPSG:2932). Older sheets sit on Qatar 1974 (EPSG:28600) or on Qatar 1948 with the old Qatar Grid (EPSG:2099).
- What is QND95?
- The Qatar National Datum 1995 (EPSG:4614) — the basis of the modern national grid and of government survey deliverables in Qatar today.
- What is the difference between the Qatar 1974 grid and the QND95 grid?
- The projections are nearly identical but the datums differ: the older grid sits on Qatar 1974 and the modern one on QND95, and the datum difference is metres. Two sheets with similar-looking numbers can be on different datums — check the title block.
- Which UTM zone is Doha in?
- Doha (about 51.5°E) falls in UTM zone 39N — EPSG:32639 on WGS84.
