Main article: 2016 Dubai Tennis Championships

Roger Federer was the two-time defending champion, but withdrew due to a knee injury.

Stan Wawrinka won the title, defeating Marcos Baghdatis in the final, 6–4, 7–6^(15–13).

This marked the first tournament Novak Djokovic participated in where he failed to reach the final since the 2015 Qatar ExxonMobil, snapping a streak of 17 consecutive tournament finals, when he was forced to retire from his quarterfinal match against Feliciano López due to an eye injury.
