difficult question as there are plenty of different styles of house in the UAE. One big thing is that most houses in the middle east do not have sloped roofs with tiles, they all tend to be flat concreted roof's. the flat roofs are normally lined with stones as insulation against the heat. traditional houses are very plain, squat square buildings. some of the older houses have wind towers which are physical structures which are used to cool the interior of the house by capturing and directing the little air movement that there is through the buildings (also to expel hot air through the "chimney effect"). most houses are precast concrete and have double glazed windows to reduce the amount of sunlight that enters. in earlier times the house were built from mud brick and clay. as there is normally plenty of money in the UAE, modern houses are very lavish and ostentatious.
