This page <http://www.uaebirding.com/uaeguiding.html> seems to be useful
(the contacts page has a range of email addresses). This
<http://www.timeoutdubai.com/community/features/62842-birdwatching-in-dubai>is
interesting and seems to cover more or less the time of year you'll be
there.
On my one visit to Dubai (2005) I corresponded with the UAE birding group
and found them very helpful. I didn't use their guiding services as I
wanted to basically have a snuffle round the older part of Dubai for the
available day as well as spotting birds.
