A matter of luck, or lack of it...

CD, generally speaking, Skype is now completely blocked in the UAE. However, there are some "islands" here and there where it is not blocked (few residential, free-zones, freehold residential areas, DXB airport) intentionally or unintentionallly. Whether you can log in or not depends on where you will be staying. I have no idea if hotels are expemted, but be prepared for the worst and assume it may not work for you.
