My wife are in the middle of our ex-CAI DONE5, which included DXB. We flew CAI-MAD, (connected to LHR by way of a surface segment, which ate up one of our two permitted stops in the continent of origin) and then resumed our ticket by going LHR-DXB-LHR-CPT........
The surface hop cost us only $CAD75 (plus taxes) and allowed us to keep our 20 DONE5 segments for longer flights. If you did not use the surface segment, I think you would have to do CAI-MAD-LHR-DXB-LHR...which uses up one more segment of your 4 permitted European segments.
Cheers,

The main areas i'm inquiring about are:
Is there any limit on the amount of times i can pass through LHR since its not my point of origin?
It is only two segments to/from the middle east/egypt (cai-lhr,lhr-dxb)?
Appreciate any help. I apologize if this has been mentioned in previous posts.
