Their website says that they facilitate peering, but it's not clear to
me how that works -- can I talk BGP directly with my peer, or does it
all go through EMIX?

My information may not be 100% up-to-date, but historically, EMIX has been Etisalat's international transit gateway product, not an Internet exchange in the generally-accepted sense of the phrase. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_exchange_point

a number of years ago i tried to get similar answers, while actually living in
Dubai, and never got anywhere.
i think bill is correct, although, i was never able to find a sales person
willing to sell me an EMIX connection.
it is sad really, because the UAE is well positioned to run a good sized
and well connected exchange.
