If you will have legal residence in UAE at the time of the interview, yes, you can do the interview there...good luck.

Are you an OFW?  You will interview at an American Embassy so it doesn't matter which one.  You can interview in the UAE if you prefer as long as you have legal residence there.

Hello everyone. I also have a question related to this topic. I am currently in UAE as an ofw and my boyfriend will be filing k1 visa this December 2018. Now my question is, can i put my address in my home country as my mailing address?. Actually, My plan is to go home in my home country if i  already received the approval and have the interview there. Is it advisable to do so? Or you have any other suggestion? Thank you so much.
