Aziz is said to have told police that he and the other man saw the girl on her bike and that they tried to undress her for sex but she managed to escape.
The girl's 44-year-old father rushed back from work to join the search for his missing daughter after being informed by his wife she had not returned home.
He told Gulf News: "Around 6pm, we spotted our daughter standing at the villa's entrance near the security guard and she was crying.
"We took her inside to know why she didn't come back home.
"She claimed to me that one of them grabbed her by her belly and put his hand on her mouth, then asked the other one to undress her, wanting to abuse her.
"Then she alleged that she freed herself and kicked one of the men and left the place."
A Dubai court source told The Sun: "It was an extremely serious assault - the prosecution say there was clear intent to rape or carry out a serious sexual assault on the girl.
"She was very lucky to escape and very brave to have fought back.
"Her parents were frantic when she disappeared and incredibly relieved when she was found."
The trial was adjourned until May 20.
