US citizens that are flying to the United Arab Emirates will need a passport to gain entry to the country upon arrival. Your passport needs to be valid for a minimum of six months past your arrival date and you will need at least one blank page for the entry stamp. The UAE currently does not require US nationals to obtain a visa for stays of less than 30 days, by instead issuing a complimentary visitor visa upon arrival. Those wishing to stay over 30 days will need to apply for an extension. Business and student visas are required.
