Your own family doctor is the best person to ask about this. So many of us are in N. America, Australia or the U.K., and even if you hear of someone in Dubai who is supposed to be a good doctor, you might need a referral from your own doctor anyway, or else he might not be the right doctor for your problem. You could ask your doctor for a referral to a pulmonologist (respiratory specialist), or a neurologist, and hope they can set you up for a test.

Unfortunately most of us have no first-hand experience with sleep doctors in Dubai. However, these two links may help:

There are several sleep labs located in Dubai .I know the American Hospital & Welcare Hospitals have sleep labs. In Abu Dhabi Sheik Khalifa Hospital & Al Noor Hospital both have Sleep labs. I use the sleep doctor at Sheik Khalifa Hospital who is very good. There are also good DME (medical supply equiptment shops) who sell cpap equiptment.
