How long does it take to get UAE(emirati) citizenship if you have a GCC passport?
Say someone from the GCC countries, has done business in UAE, has lands in UAE.. obtain a UAE passport? How long does he need to stay in the country?

Never.
In the UAE everyone who is not a UAE National is a temporary resident of the country. It is not possible to become a citizen of the UAE.
Also being a GCC National you will not be able to obtain the UAE citizenship unless you are a woman getting marriend to an Emirati. This does not work for men marrying an Emirati girl.
Take care

I would like to add to h’s answer. You can if a high authority decides to bestow the UAE citizinship upon you. Such as HH Shk Khaleefah or HH Shk Mohammed Bin Rashid. I’m not aware of any other channel through which you could get a UAE passport or citizinship.
