  • Lunch Break 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Friday and Saturday are the weekend. Call between 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM. During Ramadan, business hours shift significantly (usually starting later and ending mid-afternoon); check local times carefully during this period.
