Algeria uses CET (UTC+1) permanently — it doesn't shift when European neighbors move to CEST. This means Algeria is 1 hour behind Europe in summer.
The standard work week runs Sunday–Thursday. Friday is the Islamic day of rest. Calling on Friday is the equivalent of calling on a Sunday.
During Ramadan, government offices shift to 9 AM–3 PM. Business pace slows significantly — outreach is most effective before or after Ramadan.
Arabic is the official language; French is widely used in business, especially in Algiers. Outreach in French is generally acceptable in the private sector.
