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.
Washington D.C. Business Pulse
- Culture Highly formal, networking-heavy, and influenced by government and policy.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal call window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Punctuality is non-negotiable. DC is a "Power City"; be prepared for very formal protocols and the use of professional or political titles. Networking is a 24/7 activity here, but business calls should stay within 9-6.
