'a scotsman who lives in dubai?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.

'a scotsman' is the wordplay.
'scotsman' becomes 'rab' (Rab is a Scottish name).
'a'+'rab'='ARAB'

(Other definitions for arab that I've seen before include "One from the Middle East or North Africa" , "One from the Middle East, say" , "Horse of a breed originating in the Middle East" , "Fine horse breed" , "Saudi or Omani, perhaps" .)
