Working across Dubai and Rome

What Dubai and Rome have in common is tourism; that is the usual reason for a call between them. Put simply, when it is 09:00 in Rome it is already 2 hours later in Dubai.

Both cities work Monday to Friday, Dubai typically 08:30–17:30 and Rome 09:00–18:00 local time. On the Dubai side the dates that break a schedule are Eid al-Fitr (end of Ramadan, about 11 days earlier each year) and Eid al-Adha (roughly 70 days after Eid al-Fitr); on the Rome side, Ferragosto (15 August) and Republic Day (2 June).

The comfortable window is 11:00–17:00 Dubai time, which is 09:00–15:00 in Rome — 6 shared office hours, enough that nobody has to stretch. Only Rome changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Dubai stays put.
