Apparently it doesn't qualify for Dubai Connect. I didn't complete the booking because with the chaffeur/drive not available at the moment and the prospect of spending the whole night in the lounge, travelling with Emirates seems quite unappealing.
Why would that connection not qualify? From a connection time > 6 hours qualifies in J. So that can’t be the reason if your connection is 7:50.
