Monaco has no airport of its own; arrivals land at Nice Côte d'Azur in France and continue on by helicopter transfer or a half-hour drive along the coast. There's no border checkpoint at the frontier itself, since Monaco sits fully inside the Schengen area in practice, so the entry stamp a UAE passport gets is the French one from Nice.
The principality's yacht culture and its Grand Prix weekend draw a steady stream of Gulf visitors, but none of that changes the entry mechanics: the same 90 day Schengen allowance applies as it would for any other stop reached through a French airport.
