the new visa rules is only for those who is not working in GCC countries. since you are working in qatar, you are not included in their new visa rules because you can visit dubai even without a relative or friend in uae, as long as your profession is included in the uae immigration list and you are a residence of GCC countries.

I remember paying AED 185 for the Visa on Arrival in Dubai Airport whereas I paid AED 100 only for the same visa in Abu Dhabi Airport.

Strange rules considering the fact that it is one country!

be sure your family is under your sponsorship and if not, they are not allowed to the visa on arrival.

If the profession on your RP is engineer, no problems and should be a straight forward procedure for the Visa on Arrival. However, keep in mind that the Qatar RP has to be valid for more than 6 months.

Alternatively, Emirates and Fly Dubai also can provide you with pre-approved UAE visas on the condition that you fly with them.

Hope you have a nice trip!
