Local business guidance

Iranian Workweek Pattern

In Tehran, the workweek begins on Saturday. Government offices and state institutions operate Saturday through Wednesday, while commercial firms and banks often add Thursday morning hours.

Summer Hour Adjustments

During hot summer months, municipal and national government bodies in Tehran frequently adopt early morning hours starting as early as 06:00 to reduce electrical grid load.

Bazaar versus Mall Operations

Tehran Grand Bazaar and local bazaars close entirely on Fridays and end early on Thursday afternoons. In contrast, modern commercial malls remain active on Friday afternoons and evenings.

Ramadan and Religious Holidays

During Ramadan, office and bank hours are shortened, while dining venues remain closed during daylight hours and open after sunset for Iftar.
