Call Israel from Portugal

When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.

Portugal operates on Western European Time (UTC+0, or UTC+1 during daylight saving from late March to late October), making it ideal to call during their business hours of 9 AM-6 PM, which translates to early morning if you're in the Americas or evening if you're in Asia or Australia. Keep in mind that Portugal follows EU daylight saving rules, so always verify the current time difference during the transition periods in March and October to avoid calling too early or late. Israel operates on Israel Standard Time (UTC+2) and Israel Daylight Time (UTC+3, roughly late March to late October), so the best times to call from most Western countries are late afternoon or early evening your time to reach Israelis during their business hours (9 AM-5 PM local time). Be aware that Friday afternoons through Saturday evenings are generally not ideal for business calls due to Shabbat observance, when many Israeli businesses and individuals are unavailable.
