Why people convert NZDT to United Arab Emirates time

Scheduling a call from NZDT to United Arab Emirates: a 10:00 AM start in NZDT lands at 1:00 AM in United Arab Emirates, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a -9h gap: NZDT and United Arab Emirates 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 United Arab Emirates is 12:00 AM in NZDT.
Coordinating a NZDT-based team with United Arab Emirates contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.

With a -9h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week NZDT takes the early slot, the next week United Arab Emirates does.
