Dubai Chamber announces Ramadan timings

The new timings will also help the staff members avoid the peak hour traffic rush as most of the offices work from 9am to 3pm during Ramadan.

The head office working hours during Ramadan are from 8am to 2pm, Sunday to Thursday while the Membership and Documentation Services Department at the Chamber headquarter dealing with the issuance of Certificates of Origin and registration and renewal of membership, will also function on Saturdays from 8am to 1pm to facilitate the business community complete their important business documentation.

The DAFZA and Jebel Ali branches working hours are also from 8am to 2pm, Sunday to Thursday but the Jebel Ali branch also functions on Saturdays from 8am to 1pm while the representative offices at Al Aweer will be open from 9:00am to 2:30pm; DED and Al Twar from 8:30am to 1:30pm and JAFZA from 9:00am to 2:00pm.

The new timings are hailed by Dubai Chamber staff members who say the management has considered their request after looking at the traffic situation in Dubai.

This move will considerably facilitate the staff members who commute to Dubai from other emirates, especially the female staff members as they said the Chamber management has been very considerate about the challenges faced by its staff and has always come forward with schemes that would directly benefit the employees and also strengthen their relationship with the organization in the long run.
