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.
Nanjing Business Pulse
- Culture Cultural and educational center. Professional and somewhat conservative.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Nanjing business culture is more conservative and formal than in Shanghai. Maintain a respectful, steady tone. Education and long-term relationships are highly valued, so avoid being overly aggressive in your initial approach.

- Inspect the overlap band. Use the dashboard slider to test the 09:00 to 13:00 Dubai window before you promise a recurring slot.
