Germany gives UAE passport holders more airport choice than most Schengen countries on this list, with direct Emirates and Etihad service into Frankfurt, Munich, and Dusseldorf rather than a single gateway city. Entry is visa-free for 90 days under the standard Schengen allowance, stamped once regardless of which of those three cities the flight lands at.
Frankfurt in particular functions as a connecting hub for onward travel across the rest of Schengen by rail, so travelers building a wider European itinerary often use the German stamp as the starting point for the whole 90 day clock rather than treating Germany as a single, standalone stop.
