Alexandria Business Pulse
- Culture Relationship-heavy, traditional, and moves at a more relaxed pace than Cairo.
- Lunch Break 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Alexandrians value personal trust and social rapport. Business culture is relational; spend time on greetings. The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Avoid calling during the late afternoon meal break and daily prayer times.
Istanbul Business Pulse
- Culture A bridge between East and West. Business is personal, and hospitality (tea/coffee) is a prerequisite.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Aim for calls between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Turkish business culture is highly relational; starting with "Nasılsınız?" (How are you?) and building rapport is essential. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
