Is accommodation included in the tuition fee or do I need to manage it separately in UAE/Dubai?

Accommodation in the UAE is usually not included in tuition fees - you will need to manage it separately.

Most universities offer on-campus housing, but this comes with extra fees. For example, at BITS Pilani Dubai, the hostel fee is AED 15,000/semester, plus a facility fee of AED 850/year (subject to change). Off-campus options are also available, with costs depending on location and type - studio apartments in Dubai typically cost AED 2,500 - 4,500/month (subject to change).

Accommodation costs and availability vary by university. For details on your chosen university, your counsellor can assist.
