Is a master's degree from the UK a good option if my long-term goal is to work in the UAE?

Yes, a UK master’s degree can be a strong option if your long-term goal is to work in the UAE. UK degrees are generally well recognized in the Middle East, and many UAE employers value graduates from UK universities. However, your employability in the UAE will still depend on your specialization, work experience, internships, and market demand in your field.
