In the WorldDesignConditions, there is a  listing for Dubai -- we
can probably generate design days using that, though I'm not sure when we
will do that "automatically" within the EnergyPlus
system.

The IWEC data set has a instance of weather data for Abu Dhabi. 
Might that be close enough for you?  We expect to have all IWEC data
back online by mid-October.

I may have another instance of Dubai but I'm not quite sure of the data
source....

Those pages list the exact format for the EPW files.  You could also
take an existing CSV output from the weather converter and use it as a
template?

ESP-r format files can be accepted by the WeatherConverter so you
"should" be able to take one of your existing ESP-r files and
put it in EPW format.
