Chongqing Business Pulse

  • Culture Industrial hub with a focus on manufacturing and logistics. Hardworking and direct.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Reach out between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM for the most productive morning calls. In this industrial hub, business is often practical and results-oriented. As with other major Chinese cities, avoid the 12-1:30 PM lunch break and major national holidays.

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.

  2. Inspect the overlap band. Use the dashboard slider to test the 13:00 to 17:00 Chongqing window before you promise a recurring slot.
  3. Rotate the compromise. If one city keeps taking the early or late edge, rotate the recurring slot instead of freezing the burden in one direction.
