Synchronization Context
A 4 hours gap allows for a manageable shared window, typically in the morning or late afternoon. It requires some scheduling but supports daily synchronization.
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.
London Business Pulse
- Culture London business culture is generally formal but collaborative. "Flexi-Fridays" are common in the summer.
- Lunch Break Typically 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Avoid calling after 4:30 PM on Fridays as many offices wind down early for the weekend. Mid-week (Tuesday to Thursday) between 10 AM and 4 PM is the "Golden Window" for reaching decision-makers. Always start with a brief polite inquiry about their day before diving into business.
