Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Zohr' period is often marked by the sound of the Adhan from local mosques. It is common for businesses to have a 'time-out' for prayer and lunch. Similar to Iran, 'Zohr' is a major time marker for the workday, though the pronunciation may slightly vary in Dari (often more emphasis on the 'h').
