What do you mean based in Dubai? Are you a resident there, is it your home? Or are you there just for work? Freemasonry is still illegal in the UAE (unless something has changed very recently) and you would have to move to a country that permits it like Lebanon or Israel.

...not be an option. And I have heard of at least one clandestine (not formed by a recognized authority) organization there calling itself Freemasonry. So be careful of anyone claiming to be one. Your best option would be to relocate to a country there that allows Freemasonry like Lebanon or...
