Istanbul Business Pulse

  • Culture A bridge between East and West. Business is personal, and hospitality (tea/coffee) is a prerequisite.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Aim for calls between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Turkish business culture is highly relational; starting with "Nasılsınız?" (How are you?) and building rapport is essential. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.

Tel Aviv Business Pulse

  • Culture Informal, direct, and extremely innovative ("Start-up Nation"). Hierarchy is flat.
  • Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Do not call on Friday or Saturday (Shabbat). Best times are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Israelis are famously direct and informal; do not be surprised if people interrupt or speak passionately—it is seen as a sign of engagement, not rudeness.
