The law in the UAE obliges the employer to repatriate the employees that they have hired from abroad and they brought them from their home countries to the UAE.

Thank you for your answer.

But I am asking about bringing me to the UAE for the first time, not to repatriate

Unless this is mentioned in your offer letter, then it is not mandatory in my opinion.
