Working across Dubai and Amsterdam

Dubai is a trade and logistics city and Amsterdam a logistics city; the two economies buy from each other rather than compete. The gap is 2 hours, with Dubai the one whose clock reads later.

Both cities work Monday to Friday, Dubai typically 08:30–17:30 and Amsterdam 09:00–17:30 local time. Watch for Eid al-Fitr (end of Ramadan, about 11 days earlier each year) and Eid al-Adha (roughly 70 days after Eid al-Fitr) in Dubai and King's Day (27 April) and Easter Monday (March or April) in Amsterdam. Replies slow in Dubai during Ramadan, when office hours are shortened by law and in Amsterdam during late July and August.

Book between 11:00–17:00 in Dubai (09:00–15:00 in Amsterdam); 6 hours of overlap means neither side takes the call early or late. Only Amsterdam changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Dubai stays put.
