The overall effect would be very small, as the UAE is such a loose federation. I think this is unlikely however, given the cultures and histories of Qatar and Bahrain. Qatar has a Wahabbist dynasty, and Bahrain is largely Shiite with ancient political and cultural ties to Persia.
A more interesting question is what if the UAE, even as a loose Federated Superstructure (similar to an EU for the middle East) could expand throughout the Arab world?
Many of the Arab states are republics (and some kingdoms don't have an emir), though, so you would need to change its name. United Arab States?
