Yes you can. You will need to carry your old passport as well as your new one. Just because a passport expires does not mean that any valid visas, work permits and similar documents expire with it. I still carry my 1981 expired passport as it contains a valid for life work permit for Iran. Ian M

Bring the old (canceled) passport with you , and show it along with the new one to the immigration person. But if I were you , to play it safe, better call the UAE embassy in your country and ask if the new passport needs to be re-stamped with the visa or is it satisfactory to just bring the old one along with it so that you can have it done properly after you enter the country. In case it needs a new stamp you can avoid the hassle and take care of it before leaving for UAE. And if it does not you will have a peace of mind. I think with everything computerized they probably can update your file with the new passport number on the fly. You can also go to www.dnrd.ae and ask Dubai immigration directly.(you have to sign up on the website )
