Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Atlanta is 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Dubai.
8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Atlanta is when Dubai is also working, at 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM their time. The overlap is tight at roughly 2 hours, so protect it: 8:00 AM in Atlanta / 4:00 PM in Dubai is your safest recurring slot. Just remember Atlanta changes its clocks for daylight saving and Dubai doesn't, so confirm the overlap whenever the seasons turn.
