Synchronization Context

Syncing between Dubai and Toronto is challenging due to the 9 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.

Toronto Business Pulse

Culture Multicultural, polite, and professional. Similar to NYC but generally more reserved.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Canadians value punctuality and a polite, reserved professional tone. It is similar to NYC but with slightly more emphasis on consensus and less on aggressive directness. Avoid calling after 4:30 PM when the work day is concluding.
