Base time zone: Dubai (UTC+04:00) · Now: 12:40
Selected: 12:00 in Dubai → Dubai: 12:00 · New York: 03:00
Recommended meeting times
There is no full overlap where both cities are within 9:00–17:00 at the same time. Use shoulder hours for one side, or split into async updates.
| Start (Dubai) | Dubai status | Start (New York) | New York status | Why this works |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15:30 | Work | 06:30 | Shoulder | Strong overlap (work/shoulder). |
| 16:00 | Work | 07:00 | Shoulder | Strong overlap (work/shoulder). |
| 18:00 | Shoulder | 09:00 | Work | Strong overlap (work/shoulder). |

Typical work overlap
- 15:30 in Dubai → 06:30 in New York
- 16:00 in Dubai → 07:00 in New York
- 18:00 in Dubai → 09:00 in New York

Key considerations
- DST: Dubai does not observe daylight saving time; New York does.
- Shoulder hours: early mornings (07:00–09:00) and late afternoons (17:00–21:00) can unlock extra overlap.
- Avoid burnout: repeated late-night meetings hurt teams. Use async updates when overlap is minimal.
