Synchronization Context

Syncing between Dubai and Sydney 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.

Sydney Business Pulse

Culture Relatively relaxed but professional. Early starts are common to maximize daylight.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Due to the significant time difference with Europe and the US, early mornings (8:30 AM - 10:00 AM) are often dedicated to international syncs. For domestic calls, late mornings are best. Be mindful that many Australians start and end their day earlier than their Northern Hemisphere counterparts.
