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.

Riyadh Business Pulse

  • Culture Formal and traditional. Business hours are influenced by prayer times.
  • Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip The work week is Sunday to Thursday. Call between 10:00 AM and 1:30 PM. Avoid calling during the five daily prayer times (Salat). Business is highly relational and hierarchical; always address senior decision-makers with appropriate respect and titles.
