Arrival visa from airport

You will need to apply for a visa. You can do this through a hotel or tour operator who works in the UAE, or a family member living there. Kuwait nationals don't need visas but Indians do.

33 Countries get visa on arrival and GCC nationals don't need to apply for a visa prior to arrival. Some GCC residents who are not nationals are also eligible for a 30 day visa on arrival.

GCC Residents who are not GCC nationals but who have a high professional status such as company managers, business people, auditors, accountants, doctors, engineers, pharmacists, or employees working in the public sector, their families, drivers and personal staff sponsored by them, are eligible for a non-renewable 30-day visa upon arrival at the approved ports of entry.

If you don't fall into the quote above category then you will have to apply for a visa prior to arrival at Dubai.

UPDATE - 2015-MAY-01

The UAE no longer allows visa on arrival for GCC residents. You have to get the visa approved in advance. To this, you need to logon to this website and fill in an application.

You'll need to upload copies of your passport and pay the fees online.
