Synchronization Context

Syncing between Dubai and Ottawa is challenging due to the 9 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

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.

Ottawa Business Pulse

Culture Formal, professional, and influenced by government and high-tech industries.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
