Synchronization Context

Syncing between Dubai and Sao Paulo is challenging due to the 7 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.

Sao Paulo Business Pulse

Culture Warm and relationship-oriented. Personal touch and face-to-face (or video) meetings are preferred over emails.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Mornings can start slowly; the most productive time for calls is between 2:30 PM and 5:00 PM. Avoid scheduling anything critical for Friday afternoon, as many locals begin their weekend travel early. Brazilians value personal warmth; always include a friendly greeting.
