It is not known whether the footage was later shared on social media.
The man has not been charged and could still be released without further action.
But if prosecutors pursue the case under the UAE’s strict cybercrime laws, he could face up to two years in jail or a hefty fine.
Accusations under national security legislation could carry even longer prison sentences.
Dubai authorities have repeatedly warned tourists, influencers and expats not to post footage or commentary about the conflict online.
