- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best call window is 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Doha is an international hub; professional standards are very high. Relationship building is important, but discussions are also results-oriented. The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Avoid daily prayer times strictly.
Zurich Business Pulse
- Culture Precise, formal, and highly efficient. Values quality and punctuality above all.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
