I don't think you'll be able to get the Market as a APK file I think it's been released as one.
It's strange that you don't have it.

Rooting means gaining root access to the phone, basically you can mess with all the system files and install apps that use things that normal apps don't have.

As for installing apks you'll need something like astro or a apk installer but I'm not sure how to get one to install without market.

You could flash your phone to US generic 2.1 those should have market on it, I think 2.1 is out in the US as gunny has it.

What network are you on? Have you tried using SE update?

I'm sure your location used to be USA not UAE or is that my bad eyesight sorry If I got it wrong.

Since you're already on 2.1 you can flash it to world generic and try SE update and it should have market on it here's a guide to flashing [UTIL] | X10Flash 2.1 final & 2.1 Firmware (Update Flasher 14.11.2010) - xda-developers
