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.

Johannesburg Business Pulse

  • Culture Fast-paced and competitive. The economic powerhouse of Africa.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Best reached between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM. South African business culture is direct and professional. Be aware of "Load Shedding" (scheduled power outages) which can affect your contact's availability and connectivity; it is a common professional courtesy to check on this.
