Why people convert Dubai to Moscow time

Scheduling a call from Dubai to Moscow: a 10:00 AM start in Dubai lands at 9:00 AM in Moscow, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Dubai and Moscow are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM GST time (9:00 AM–4:00 PM MSK). That is roughly 7 hours of usable overlap.
Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Dubai is 7:00 PM in Moscow makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM GST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -1h gap is not.
Block 10:00 AM–5:00 PM GST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Dubai and need Moscow colleagues present.
