For international layover flights booked on one airline, two hours is often recommended to make your connection.
If your itinerary was purchased as one ticket (as in: you have only one itinerary and one confirmation number), and the connection time was too short and you miss the second (or third) flight, you can rest easy, no matter what happens. The airline will simply put you onto the next available flight, free of charge.
If the missed connection is the airline's fault (a delayed initial flight due to mechanical problems, for example), the airline should rebook you on the next available flight. If the next outbound flight is the following morning, the airline should either book you on another airline or provide accommodations and meals.
You must apply for a transit visa for Dubai/UAE if you're not eligible for Dubai Visa On Arrival. Additionally, if your layover is longer than 8 hours, and you plan on leaving the airport, you need a transit visa.

Transit. Another point of confusion is layover vs stopover or transit. Once again, a layover is a stop that lasts less than 24 hours, while a stopover lasts 24 hours or more. On the other hand, Transit is simply the act of returning to the same aircraft after your layover at the airport.
Customs and immigration are usually required at the connecting airport for international flights. You don't always have to for domestic flights. In most cases, passengers on layover flights must clear customs and immigration at the first point of entry.
If your first flight leg is the international leg, you'll be put through customs on first arrival, then have to re-check any bags and go through security again for your connecting flight. I have 2 hours in dubai to get from one flight to the next. This is my first flight.
Travel on Diplomatic or Official Passports: U.S. citizens traveling to or through the UAE on diplomatic or official passports are required to obtain a visa before travel (transit passengers only require a visa if exiting the airport).
You don't need a visa if you're just transiting through Dubai airport. But, travellers from most countries will need one to leave the airport. Find out about your visa requirements using the Emirates tool.
To ensure that you make your connection without any issues or delays, it's best to plan for at least two hours between connecting flights at Dubai Airport.
By booking your whole itinerary on one ticket you ensure that, in most cases, your onward travel will be guaranteed – meaning that if you miss your connection through no fault of your own, you will be rebooked on the next available flight.
Yes, there might be exceptions, but most often than not the airline won't wait. What you can do is to try to avoid missing your connection. But if you do miss your connection, don't worry, the airline will book you on a new flight for free (if it's an airline-protected connecting flight).
