08:00–17:00 local is the honest clock for Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi does not shift for daylight saving; the clock stays UTC+4 all year. In Al Maryah / the Corniche offices, a message at 19:00 is not 'catching them at the desk' — it is borrowing their night. Same clock as Dubai, more government. Ramadan and National Day both mute Slack. If the verdict would be NOT NOW, wait. Courtesy compounds. On an ordinary weekday in Abu Dhabi, treat the desk as reachable only in local business hours.
