Melbourne Business Pulse

Culture Professional but relaxed. Known for a strong coffee culture and sports-related networking.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip The best time for calls is 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Australians are generally informal but professional; starting with "How's it going?" is standard. Melbourne is the coffee capital; if you're on a video call, don't be surprised if your contact is in a café.

Riyadh Business Pulse

Culture Formal and traditional. Business hours are influenced by prayer times.
Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM.
Pro Tip The work week is Sunday to Thursday. Call between 10:00 AM and 1:30 PM. Avoid calling during the five daily prayer times (Salat). Business is highly relational and hierarchical; always address senior decision-makers with appropriate respect and titles.
