Kosher food exists in United Arab Emirates but requires a bit of research — often via a local synagogue, kosher deli, or Chabad House — and options thin out quickly outside major cities.
Chabad Houses are Jewish community centers that operate in a surprising number of cities worldwide, and many welcome travelers for a kosher meal — check chabad.org for the nearest location before you go, especially useful in destinations with otherwise limited kosher options.
