  • Handling a -10h gap: United Arab Emirates and Mexico 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 Mexico is 11:00 PM in United Arab Emirates.

  • With a -10h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week United Arab Emirates takes the early slot, the next week Mexico does.
