How to Locate a Person in the U.A.E.
According to 2008 census, United Arab Emirates' population is more than four million, 71 percent of which are foreign-born expats. Since the population of foreigners is greater in number than the locals, it could be difficult to locate a person who might have moved to perhaps another city, changed job or switched phone numbers. However, if you have his name or perhaps his last known address, you could use the Internet to locate him. There are various directories that can be used for this purpose.

Use a search engine for locating the person. Most people go to U.A.E. to find employment, so if you know the person's employer, you could look up the company on U.A.E's Yellow Pages (see references). The Yellow Pages contains a list and contact information of businesses in the U.A.E. If you don't know the exact name, you could search by categories.
Once you find the business organization, you can contact its HR department, and inquire about the person.

Go to the website of a directory like Hejleh, Data Dubai or Search Me. On these websites, you can search for people by names, organizations, industry or email addresses. If possible, enter as much as information as possible so the website narrows down the results for you.

Contact the U.A.E. embassy of the specific country that the person belongs to. Since the embassy keeps this kind of information confidential, you will most likely have to undergo security screening and state your reasons for trying to locate the person.
