No, you do not. Source: Timatic, the "bible of Airlines" https://www.timaticweb.com/cgi-bin/tim_website_client.cgi?FullText=1&COUNTRY=AE&SECTION=VI&SUBSECTION=tw&user=KLMB2C&subuser=KLMB2C
Visa required, except for Holders of confirmed onward tickets for a max. transit time of 24 hours.
Dubai has a transit area, meaning you won't deal with any immigration officers. In such cases (of airside transit), it's all about whether the airline lets you board, and they go by Timatic
