You don't need a visa. However, you may be required to sleep in the airport transit hotel.

A Timatic search on the Emirates site says:

Visa
Visa required.

TWOV (Transit Without Visa):
Holders of onward tickets for a max. transit time of 24 hours. In case of transit connections beyond 8 hours, passengers must remain airside and be accommodated in the airport transit hotel.

As you can see, the airport hotel is a requirement for transit between 8 and 24 hours, which is your case. I don't know if it's required even if you don't spend a night at the terminal (though your 18 hours probably include a night).
