Is 1 hour enough for connecting flights in Dubai Terminal 3?

Yes its sufficient. I am assuming that your entire journey is booked under one single PNR. For your better understanding and easy reference, I have answered your question in three sections - 1: Before you fly or at the check in at your origin airport; 2: In the flight; 3: at DXB airport Emirates Terminal.
