Cairo Business Pulse
- Culture Traditional and relationship-heavy. Appointments are necessary but often fluid in timing.
- 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.
Houston Business Pulse
- Culture Focused on energy, medical, and aerospace. Professional and direct.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Houston is a practical, results-oriented city. The Central Time Zone is ideal for North American coordination. While professional, the culture has a touch of "Southern hospitality," so a friendly opening is always appropriate.
