UAE business hours shift several times a year — shorter Ramadan hours, a few days closed for Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha, adjusted summer timings during the heat. A paper card printed with "Sun–Thu, 9am–6pm" is wrong for a third of the year. A MyInfo card can carry the current hours all the time, because you edit it once and everyone who taps or scans it after that sees the update immediately.
Why seasonal hours are a recurring problem
Most UAE businesses change their hours at least three times a year: Ramadan, the two Eid breaks, and often summer. If those hours live only on a printed card, a shop sign, or a message you send to regular clients, you're repeating the same task every season and hoping nobody acts on the outdated version in someone's wallet. A digital card removes the repeat work — you update the text once, not the printing order and not every client thread.
Put your hours in a text section
Your MyInfo card can include a dedicated text section, separate from your About text, just for hours. Give it a clear title like "Ramadan hours" or "Eid closure" and the details in the body — free cards get one text section, Premium cards up to three, so a clinic or salon can even keep a standing "Regular hours" section alongside a temporary seasonal one. See add a text section for the steps.
Update it in under a minute
Open your card, select the text section, and edit the title and text directly — the same flow as any other edit to your card details. There's no approval step and nothing to reprint: save the change and the next visitor who opens your card, scans your QR code or taps your NFC card sees the current hours.
Move it to the top for the season
Ramadan and Eid hours matter more than usual during those weeks, so it's worth more than editing the text — use Layout to move the hours section near the top of your card for that period, then move it back (or hide it) once things return to normal. Nothing is deleted when you hide a section; it's saved and ready to switch on again next year.
A simple seasonal routine
- Before Ramadan: add or update the hours text section, move it up in Layout.
- Around each Eid: switch the text to closure dates, keep it near the top.
- Summer: revert to summer timings if they differ from the rest of the year.
- After each period: move the section back down or hide it, and update the text for normal hours.
This takes a few minutes each season and replaces reprinting, resigning, or messaging clients individually.
One card, always current
Because your card lives at one address, every place you've already shared it — your email signature, your Google listing, a QR code on your door — automatically shows the current hours the moment you save. If you haven't set up your card yet, create your free digital business card and add a text section for your first seasonal update.
Frequently asked questions
Does changing my hours affect my card's link, QR code or NFC tag?
No. Your card's address, QR code and any programmed NFC tag stay exactly the same. Only the content on the page changes, so nothing needs to be reprinted or reprogrammed.
How many seasonal notices can I keep on my card?
Free cards include one text section, so you'll typically reuse it for whichever season is current. Premium cards allow up to three, so you could keep "Regular hours" and a seasonal section side by side.
