No. Skype is too smart.

You need something like the LATEST BLUECOAT or VERSO box to do this...

Perhaps some of your colleagues know how they block it UAE. I hear ALL voip
is successfully blocked there?

A better option is a MS Active Directory group policy limiting what apps can
run on the desktop, etc.
