Is a degree required to work in the UAE at senior / management level

I have previously spent several months working in Abu Dhabi based out of Manchester (UK) whilst working for Etihad Airways however I never quite got the dream move due to a stall in the application to move and other factords at the time.

I am now looking for opportunities in the UAE as it is a place I fell in love with however having no degree I feel could hold me back.

Do any of you fine people have any information in terms of finding work in the UAE without a degree?

Thanks in advance.
