If you live in the United Arab Emirates

You need a B1/B2 visitor visa, which means a DS-160 and an in-person interview. UAE residents interview at the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the US Consulate General in Dubai.

An ESTA is an authorisation to board, not a visa, and not a guarantee of entry. Travellers who have visited certain countries since 2011, or hold dual nationality of them, lose ESTA eligibility and need a visa.
