Working across Dubai and Beijing

Dubai and Beijing share finance as core industries, which is where the traffic between them comes from. The gap is 4 hours, with Beijing the one whose clock reads later.

The working week is Monday to Friday on both sides: roughly 08:30–17:30 in Dubai and 09:00–18:00 in Beijing. On the Dubai side the dates that break a schedule are Eid al-Fitr (end of Ramadan, about 11 days earlier each year) and Eid al-Adha (roughly 70 days after Eid al-Fitr); on the Beijing side, Chinese New Year (seven days in January or February) and National Day Golden Week (1–7 October).

Book between 09:00–13:00 in Dubai (13:00–17:00 in Beijing); 4 hours of overlap means neither side takes the call early or late. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the gap holds all year.
