Addis Ababa Business Pulse

  • Culture Diplomatic and growing rapidly. Home to the African Union.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Ethiopia uses its own unique 12-hour clock (counting from 6 AM as "Hour 1"); always clarify "European Time" or "GMT/UTC" when scheduling to avoid confusion. Business is polite, formal, and values personal trust.

Dubai Business Pulse

  • Culture International and multicultural. Sunday is a standard working day, while Friday is often a half-day or holiday.
  • Lunch Break Typically 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip The traditional UAE work week is Monday to Friday, but many local businesses and government entities may have shorter hours on Fridays (ending around 12:00 PM). Sunday is no longer a weekend for most, but always verify your contact's specific schedule as multicultural teams vary.
