Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

When does sehri end and iftar begin?

“You should follow the Sehri (Suhoor) time of the location where you are physically present at the time of Sehri. If you are in Doha at the time of Sehri, then you will follow the Sehri time of Doha and begin your fast accordingly.”
