UAE licence is just ICAO licence. It's not equivalent to either JAA/EASA or FAA licence. To work in Europe (JAA member states) you've got to hold JAA/EASA licence, or you can convert the ICAO licence to JAA one. The latter is a tedious process that doesn't really worth the effort and time.

Why you want to do your training with Emirates Aviation Services at first place?? It's not a popular name in flight training. The package of PPL+CPL ME+IR will cost around 30,000 GBP without accommodation and costs of living, plus that the course will take about 2 years to complete!! And then you still have to spend not less than 8,000 GBP to do the conversion to JAA licence!! The whole thing will surely exceed the 45K needed to obtain the Frozen JAA ATPL from the UK CAA within one year and a half!
