Several waves of Iranian attacks targeting the airport and several other sites across the UAE kept people awake on Saturday night.
Dubai's airport and the iconic Burj Al Arab were among the places hit by what the UAE officials described as drone attacks.
A government of Dubai media office statement said a "drone caused its shrapnel to spark a fire at the Burj Al Arab hotel," and that it was brought under control. "No injuries" were reported.
Authorities in Dubai also revealed that debris resulting from air interception operations caused a fire at one of the berths of Jebel Ali Port without causing any injuries.
