In the worst Gulf Arab crisis for years, the UAE, along with Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, cut diplomatic as well as travel and trade ties with Qatar, accusing their fellow Gulf state of supporting Iran and funding Islamist groups.
Qatar's neighbors cut ties with the country over accusations that it sponsors Islamic extremism, which Qatar denies.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said Monday that Qatar is in contact with global aviation authorities and legal organizations as it tries to fight back against moves by Saudi Arabia and its allies to cut off its land, air and sea access. "I think it is about an orchestrated campaign against my country to pressure my country to change its active, independent foreign policy", he said.
"This policy of domination and control is not going to work", Qahtani stressed.
Qatar can easily defend its economy and currency against sanctions by other Arab states, Qatari finance minister Ali Sherif al Emadi told CNBC television on Monday.
The Foreign Office had denied knowledge of any such visit and has also recently denied foreign media reports of 20,000 Pakistani troops being deployed in Qatar.
Other states in the region have also stepped in.

Much of that came from China , where it grossed $52.2 million, putting it on par with the likes of Star Wars: The Force Awakens . The Marvel Studios release added $6.2 million from 2,911 screens, bringing its domestic total up to a great $366 million.
In an interview with Al-Jazeera English, Baker also came down hard on US President Donald Trump, whose country has been a longtime ally of Qatar.
Abdi Halane Hirsi, a senior Somali diplomat said his country had issued a statement calling on all parties to resolve the impasse through dialogue.
"The Gulf country hosted the Taliban by request of the U.S. government and as part of Qatar's open-door policy, to facilitate talks, to mediate and to bring peace", said foreign minister's special envoy on counterterrorism Mutlaq-Al-Qahtani.
The Qatar Ports Management Company (Mwani) announced the opening of two new shipping services between Qatar and Oman on Sunday, after Saudi Arabia and its allies imposed a blockade of the Gulf state last week. Asked by CNBC whether it might now sell some of those stakes to raise money, Emadi indicated this was not on the cards for now.
MSNBC later reported that Trump, according to White House sources, "may not have known" about the American troops based in Qatar when he took sides in the dispute.
Last Thursday, Guterres urged countries in the region "to avoid escalating tensions and work instead to overcome their differences", United Nations spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
"Our reserves and investment funds are more than 250 percent of gross domestic product, so I don't think there is any reason that people need to be concerned about what's happening or any speculation on the Qatari riyal". "And for us that means jobs and, frankly, great security back here, which we want".
