Athens Business Pulse

  • Culture Sociable and relationship-heavy. Business often involves lively discussion.
  • Lunch Break 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The best window for calls is 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. Avoid calling between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM (the "siesta" or lunch period). Greeks value personal rapport and hospitality; business deals are often sealed over long meals or social gatherings. Be prepared for a warm and expressive communication style.

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.
