Synchronization Context

Syncing between Riyadh and Sydney is challenging due to the 8 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

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.

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.
