Based on the usual 9 hours gap.
Chicago and Dubai have no overlap in standard 9-to-5 working hours, so one side needs to start early or finish late. If you stretch the day to 7 AM to 10 PM in both cities, the shared window is 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Chicago (4:00 PM to 10:00 PM in Dubai).
The best time to call is around 10:00 AM in Chicago (7:00 PM in Dubai). That time falls outside standard 9-to-5 hours in at least one city. These times use the usual gap; for a few weeks each year, shift them by the difference noted above.
