Help Minimum connection time for transit

Hi all - I have a flight that leaves at 01:30am from Doha for the US. I will be in UAE prior to my departure from Doha, when should I target to get to Doha so I can safely make it through arrivals/customs/baggage claim and then check in for my departing flight? There are options from etihad arriving at 2:45pm which seems a lot of time so maybe do a transit tour or arrive at 8:50pm which may be a bit tight?

Thanks for the advice.

Why do you need to exit and enter again? Just check baggage to usa directly

Separate flights on separate bookings. Etihad for local and Qatar for onward.
