Why people convert Dubai to Honolulu time

Scheduling a call from Dubai to Honolulu: a 10:00 AM start in Dubai lands at 8:00 PM in Honolulu the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a -14h gap: Dubai and Honolulu have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Honolulu is 7:00 PM in Dubai.
Booking travel or deliveries: tracking Honolulu local time against Dubai keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the -14h offset.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM GST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -14h gap is not.
With a -14h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Dubai takes the early slot, the next week Honolulu does.
