Came across this portfolio page while doing some random Internet searching:

Figured it was interesting enough to pass along here. I have no idea if Disney has ever had real plans to develop a park in the Middle East, but from the project description, it sounds like this was just blue-sky concept art drawn up by two companies. However, Favilli Studio has worked directly with Disney in the past, so there's that.
The park itself seems pretty small, but appears to include a Main Street area, Star Wars land (Death Star/X-Wing themed astro orbiter and probably a Star Tours clone in one of those buildings), Pixar/Cars land (Radiator Springs Racers), Adventure land (Jungle Cruise), some kind of train/monorail, and the castle itself looks to double as a hotel.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
Favilli Studio teamed with RIVA Creative to develop a blue-sky concept for a Disney destination in the Middle East. The cornerstone of the concept is classic Disney storytelling, entertainment and the beloved characters brought to life in the arid dessert on the edge of an ancient oasis. The icon of the park is the glorious Castle of Dreams—a magnificent palace akin to the famous Disney castles, but with distinctive Middle Eastern elements such as spires, domes and minarets making it uniquely Disneyland Dubai.
