Dubai is 6 hours behind Sydney

Best overlap: 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Sydney is 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Dubai.

If you set up a recurring sync, 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Sydney (8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Dubai) is the natural home for it. Around 4 hours of overlap is enough to work comfortably, as long as meetings don't drift to the end of one team's day. These times hold for most of the year, but Sydney's daylight saving (which Dubai doesn't use) shifts them by an hour twice annually.
