I know of no JAA accredited schools in the UAE. Fujairah Aviation Academy started on that route but have now abandoned it. As Ronnie says beware of JAA based and Complient, if you want a JAA Licence it has to be accredited!
The schools in the UAE work best for nationals as they will get employment with a GCAA Licence.
Perhaps MPL may be a solution if an Airline is prepared to get involved in training and offer conditional employment at the end of the course!
Etihad are also offering sponsorship to overseas students but I would imagine there is huge competition.
At the moment with the downturn in Europe and the US the Gulf airlines can stick to there type rated 1500 hrs on a jet minimums for non GCC pilots!
Heard a rumour that DAEFA may not be getting VLJ's now?
