Best overlap: 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Auckland is 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Doha.
For a call that suits both sides, look at 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Auckland / 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Doha. With overlap this short — around 1 hour — a recurring slot at 5:00 PM in Auckland (8:00 AM in Doha) is worth its weight in gold. Finally, Auckland observes daylight saving and Doha doesn't, so this window shifts by an hour for part of the year — recheck it each spring and autumn.
