Working across Tokyo and Dubai

Both cities run on finance, so most calls between Tokyo and Dubai are between people in the same trade. Put simply, when it is 09:00 in Dubai it is already 5 hours later in Tokyo.

The working week is Monday to Friday on both sides: roughly 09:00–18:00 in Tokyo and 08:30–17:30 in Dubai. Watch for Golden Week (29 April to 5 May) and Obon (around 13–16 August) in Tokyo and 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. Replies slow in Tokyo during Golden Week and the year-end break and in Dubai during Ramadan, when office hours are shortened by law.

The comfortable window is 14:00–17:00 Tokyo time, which is 09:00–12:00 in Dubai — 3 shared office hours, enough that nobody has to stretch. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the gap holds all year.
