Laws regarding a lot of things are insanely retarded even in the most upscale areas and countries, and frankly this is yet another case of it. I think you are lost.

Posted April 22, 2017 Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) are considered part of the UAE’s regulated activities, all they need for organizations such as Discord and Teamspeak to obtain a license to practice or provide such service.

Posted April 23, 2017 Looks like discord won't pay money to operating in UEA or they were ask for users data and discord refused. I can't say for teamspeak as they are hosted per client wise. Are you able to try mumble servers? I presume most teamspeaks servers are running on default ports, try to find a server with odd port number could help. Personally no can help you, unless someone with power such as "Royal" to change the law but in most case they won't. If they want to access the services, I pretty sure they could be exempt from the block if they wanted to. I would suggest VPN while you can, more than likely vpn is going to get completing banned as well. Just asking are they blocking port wise or protocol or like firewall (packet inspection).
