When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Hawaii Time and Arabia Standard Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Arabia Standard Time is 13 hours ahead of Hawaii Time.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 6 PM–8 PM in Hawaii Time (7 AM–9 AM the next day in Arabia Standard Time) — suggest 7:00 PM Hawaii Time (8:00 AM Arabia Standard Time).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
Note: the working week in Saudi Arabia runs Sunday–Thursday; Friday–Saturday is the weekend, so overlap on those days is limited.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
