Yes, you will be understood by Emiratis if you communicate with them using Modern Standard Arabic providing you have a clear pronunciation. In fact, not only Emiratis will understand you but all Arabs should be able to understand you. If your MSA level is advanced, be prepared to hear mistakes being made by them when they try to speak back to you in MSA.
