Leaving a country without entering another country and coming back

Upvote:1

Whether or not you intend to leave the airport, you will likely be required to go through immigration in Dubai. According to http://www.emirates.com/english/plan_book/essential_information/visa_passport_information/uae_visas.aspx, citizens of some countries require a visa in order to enter the UAE (Qatar is part of the GCC so citizens of Qatar do not need a visa). However, this may not apply if the layout of the airport is such that you can board your return flight without leaving the international transit lounge. I have not been to the Dubai airport so I am not certain whether this is the case. I would contact your airline to see what their policy says about your trip.

EDIT: According to the map at http://www.dubaiairports.ae/docs/default-source/map/dxb-terminal-2-map.pdf, the only way you could possibly avoid going through passport control is through flydubai transfers.
