Scheduling across Abu Dhabi and Queenstown

Their standard business hours do not overlap on the same day, but the two working days meet at a single point: Queenstown's close at 17:00 coincides exactly with Abu Dhabi's open at 09:00. A call timed to that boundary catches both sides at the edge of their day.
