By sharia (sic) I presume you mean an Islamic wedding. If you are not a muslim you cannot get married anywhere in the UAE except a christian/other religious church - no court, no mosque and no municipality office can marry you. In extreme circumstances your embassy may assist but only in extremis. There is no such thing as a civil ceremony. You can wed in the church and not register the marriage with your embassy - the legalities of this I will not comment on.

On the plus side you would not be subject to the ridiculous divorce laws of the UK and other countries and get shafted left right and sideways should you decide to split up at a later stage in life.

I know of three couples who are all expatriate non-muslims who managed to get married under sharia law here. It's possible, legal (but only valid here and in some other islamic countries) and a huge pain in the rear to do unless you know an influential local.
