Incorrect passport number written on UAE visa. Can I still travel?

Anecdotal evidence suggests that it might be wiser to get this corrected prior to travelling, to avoid any issues or delays. In similar circumstances, some report that they were prevented from boarding by the airline, others that they were either detained or refused by Immigration upon arrival.
You don't mention where you made your visa application, but your first step should be to contact the service through which you applied.
Another option would be to contact the 'AMER service' of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs-Dubai, for answers to queries about visas for any of the emirates.

Tread very carefully
As someone who lived in Abu Dhabi and Dubai for the last eight years, any snafu with passports and visas can create an issue. It seems to always be one of two extremes: I've walked in without even showing my passport (although they've tightened that up a bit), and I've been detained overnight because my passport had a little wear-and-tear.
Contact the UAE Embassy in your country and ask what they recommend you do. Most likely they can re-issue it very quickly (it might depend on your circumstances). As a rule of thumb anywhere, if they say it's fine as it is, I always like to call later and ask again - just to get a second opinion.
Happy and safe travels - get over there before summer comes.
