Old passport in UAE Visit visa
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;
Here is my situation:
I have my Indian passport with 3 more years validity which is never used.
It is a ECR (Emigration Check Required) status passport.
I received my UAE 90 days visit visa issued on 10 April 2016 but I just came to know that I need a ECNR (Emigration Check Not Required) status passport to travel UAE from India.
So I have to apply for a new ECNR Passport. Old passport will be cancelled. My UAE visit e-visa has my old passport number.
So in this case do I need to apply for another visa or can I travel with both passports in hand ?

You need a ECNR passport to work in UAE. It doesn't matter if you are only a tourist.

It is extremely common to travel with cancelled passports because they contain a visa. They will punch the machine readable stripe of the personal data page of your old passport which makes it unusuable as a passport but your visa will be fine. You will present both passports on the border. Edit: you might want to explicitly state you need your passport back.
I have been travelling like this with a cancelled Hungarian passport containing a ten year B1/B2 USA visa since 2009 and a valid Hungarian passport as well (and a Canadian PR card and a NEXUS card. Yay, paperwork).
Here's a photo of my old passport, sensitive data blurred and the punch holes marked with red arrows -- all human readable data stays intact:

Doesn't matter. As visible on the photo I just added the number of the old passport will stay intact -- just not in the machine scan region, see ZE4174(last two digits blurred) in the upper right corner.
