Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Abu Dhabi is 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Sydney.
Keep meetings inside 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Abu Dhabi — that maps to 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Sydney. Sydney is 6 hours ahead of Abu Dhabi, which gives you a solid 4-hour window. Book earlier in it and neither side is rushing. Remember that Sydney shifts for daylight saving and Abu Dhabi doesn't, so recalculate the overlap after each clock change.
