Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Boston is 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Doha.
Aim for 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM Boston time — that's 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM over in Doha. Doha is 7 hours ahead of Boston, leaving about 3 hours of daily overlap — enough for most meetings if you don't leave them too late in the day. Because Boston and Doha don't both observe daylight saving, plan to re-check the overlap around March and November.
