If you live in the United Arab Emirates

You need a UK Standard Visitor visa. UAE residence does not change that, but it does mean you apply and give biometrics in the UAE rather than in your country of nationality.

An ETA is an authorisation to travel, not a visa, and not a guarantee of entry. Nationals not on the ETA list need a Standard Visitor visa. Check the current position on gov.uk before you book.
