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