Here is the information I found:

Cities and towns in the UAE do not use ZIP (or Postal) codes.

There are NO postcodes ANYWHERE in the UAE and no street deliveries of mail.

Most people get their mail at their employers address, through their own registered post box, or through door-to-door courier deliveries.

A typical postal address is:

Joe Smith
XYZ Corporation LLC
PO Box 12345
Al Ain
U.A.E.

The national postal service, Emirates Post (see link below) also has a system of "Public Post Boxes", here people can have mail sent to a common post office box and then have to collect if directly from the post office.

The international telephone dialing code is (00) 971 and then the city code followed by the number
