You can obtain the 96 hour transit visa in advance through your UAE-based airline. If you have booked with Emirates, you can apply for it online by going to Manage your booking. Etihad has a dedicated web page for visas. If you booked with flydubai, you can apply for it at the nearest flydubai travel shop which provides the service. They do not have online booking of the visa yet.
Note that entering with the 96 hour visa requires a 6 month validity on your passport.
