Planning a call between Tokyo and Dubai
Best window: 2 pm to 5 pm in Tokyo (9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Dubai). In that stretch both cities sit inside core 9-to-5 hours, so neither side takes the call early or late.
Daylight saving
Tokyo does not change its clocks. It stays on UTC+9 (JST) all year, so the gap to the other city only moves when the other city shifts.
Dubai does not change its clocks. It stays on UTC+4 (GST) all year, so the gap to the other city only moves when the other city shifts.
