Why people convert Lima to Dubai time

Scheduling a call from Lima to Dubai: a 10:00 AM start in Lima lands at 7:00 PM in Dubai, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a +9h gap: Lima and Dubai 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 Dubai is 6:00 PM in Lima.
Coordinating a Lima-based team with Dubai contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.

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