how far is iran from qatar

Iran and Qatar are separated by the Persian Gulf, and the straight-line distance between the two countries is roughly 820 km (about 510 miles) from country center to country center.

Quick Scoop: How far is Iran from Qatar?

• The commonly cited air (straight-line) distance between Iran and Qatar is about 821 km (510 miles) when measured between the central points of the two countries.

• Some calculators give a very similar number of around 823 km (511 miles) for the center‑to‑center distance, which is essentially the same within normal rounding.

• The shortest gap across the Persian Gulf (border to border) is much smaller, around 190–200 km , reflecting the closest points of coastline rather than the country centers.

Example city‑to‑city distances

If you think in terms of real trips rather than abstract country centers:

• Doha (Qatar) to Shiraz (Iran): about 489–491 km.

• Doha to Isfahan: about 817–820 km.

• Doha to Tehran: about 1,150 km.

By plane, the rough “bird‑fly” distance of ~821 km would be well under 2 hours of flight time on a typical commercial jet.
