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.
San Diego Business Pulse
- Culture Professional, casual, and focused on biotech and innovation.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Like much of the US West Coast, the culture is casual-professional. Biotech and defense are major industries; expect technical competence to be highly valued. Punctuality is respected, even in a more relaxed atmosphere.
