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 Francisco Business Pulse

Culture Innovation-focused and casual. Values disruption, speed, and technical excellence.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Expect a casual, tech-first vibe—informal language and dress are the norm. However, technical competence and speed are non-negotiable. Many in the Bay Area work non-traditional hours, but standard business times remain the safest bet.
