Can I re-enter the UAE with a passport that expires in less than 6 months?

As stated by Timatic, the database used by airlines:
Passports and other documents accepted for entry issued to residents of the United Arab Emirates must be valid on arrival.
So, because you have a UAE residence permit, it's enough if your pasport is valid on the day you re-enter UAE.
Make sure to show your residence permit as well as your passport at check-in. If they try to deny you boarding, ask them to check Timatic, putting the UAE in "alien residency"

I was prohibited from traveling for having my visa expiring within 14 days (the officer's specification) upon arrival from a jaunt to Istanbul. Here are my details, which might not the same as your situation.
- American with work visa to work in UAE for a government agency.
- Work visa was going to expire in 14 days, my trip was for 10 days. My employer had not started the procedure to renew it for another three years.
- This was in 2012 in Abu Dhabi
My guess is that you should be fine, but from years of experience, my advice is to not mess around with the bureaucracy. Get something - anything - from your employment showing proof of employment to accompany you, and, if possible, renew your three year visa early before leaving.
