Look, I think you need to understand a few points first about UAE.

1) 80% of UAE is expats so yes, practically all banks are used to catering for and chasing expats for their business

2) Having said that, the level of customer service by banks in the UAE is appalling if you compare that your home country. So DO NOT expect much.  Even if you get a high end bank account i.e. put deposits of $100K or more, it doesn't really improve drastically.  Speaking from personal experience

So having said that, my personal recommendation is to pick an "international" bank like HSBC etc.........because if something goes wrong, they are "relatively" easier to deal with vs. the local banks. However, the local banks will offer you better deals, rates etc etc.  What can go wrong?  a lot! because for most banks here, customer service is a hallmark of incompetence.....as an example, I had an account with ENBD which I closed by going to the branch. However, they didn't close it and kept charging me below balance fees. In the end, after 8 years, it took me an escalation to the level of their CEO to get it closed properly. If it was anyone without connections, you would be hearing about them crying about a bank case and travel ban without no fault of their own.

The last point is simple.  Don't keep money (more than what you need) in your bank accounts in the GCC.  This has to do with Shariah law / succession as well as the arbitary powers of the bank to freeze accounts when you have visa or legal issues.

We have had many discussions on these topics re: offshore bank accounts as well as other financial matters.  Here:
