Because I got information on web and UAE resident (who contact in UAE office) that they not accept any refugee travel document, A person can only enter on a passport of resident citizen, and what canadian official government website cic have information that I can travel all over world except home country. I want to know this information kindly provide me authentication details please

As per my information .. gulf countries are not allowing entry to their tertorirries using RTD.
Its good idea to call the UAE embassy or email them to double check as regulations change regularly.

Thanks for the information, I make contact with UAE embassy Ottawa and waiting for their reply, I think Saudia Arabia allow to travel on RTD, only UAE and Qatar have policy not to accept RTD but will look into thanks

Believe KSA changed their policy a few years ago so visiting KSA is not an option anymore.

Hello brother, yes please if you can share the reply of the embassy.
For KSA, I learnt from a travel agency that KSA still accepts RTD for Omra and Hajj purposes not visitor visa. Better check with the KSA embassy.

Hello, I wanted to know if your answers were positive and if you traveled.
Hello please are you in the same situation ? Because I am and I am desperately looking for a means to go to UAE. I have called the services even there and they say it's a No No. I thought they could even request more documentation but it's hard.

Yes !
If I called I wrote emails and they said no.
I thought they didn't understand exactly what style of passport it was because a friend told me that this document is not known in many countries.
I explained to them that it was not an emergency passport, I explained to them that it was not temporary,that it was not a single entry.
and the answer was we only accept the dark blue passport and no other.
My itinerary was with a stopover in Morocco so I will only be there including the Moroccan embassy, they do know this passport and they told me Dubai does not accept this passport .

From what I know, UAE usually requires a passport for entry, and I've heard similar things about them not accepting refugee travel documents. It’s probably best to double-check with the UAE embassy directly to avoid any issues. The info you found might be accurate, but it helps to get confirmation straight from the source.
It is pretty well known that none of the gulf countries accept RTD except in some case just for a tour to do Umrah.
