Working across Dubai and Cairo

What Dubai and Cairo have in common is tourism; that is the usual reason for a call between them. The gap is 1 hour, with Dubai the one whose clock reads later.

Dubai works Monday to Friday and Cairo Sunday to Thursday, which leaves only three or four shared working days a week. 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 Cairo side, Eid al-Fitr (end of Ramadan) and Eid al-Adha (roughly 70 days later).

Book between 10:00–17:00 in Dubai (09:00–16:00 in Cairo); 7 hours of overlap means neither side takes the call early or late. Only Cairo changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Dubai stays put.
