Note: 

The time for Dubai and all of the UAE is GMT + 4 hours and  the working week for the HCT is Sunday  to Thursday  which is the working week as specified by the UAE Government

Sometimes for private firms it can be Saturday to Thursday or Sunday to Thursday.

Therefore remember if you need to phone someone, Thursday (mostly) , Friday (definitely) or Saturday (maybe) will  be their weekend. This is something most Western people never get used to....Leigh
