There is also an opportunity for us to spend a weekend in Dubai on the way back to the US. I need to find out 1) if I can fly Emirates through Dubai on our way to Mumbai and 2) can I spend a weekend in Dubai on our way back?

I think it's important to add that I have visited Israel, but the Israeli stamps were on an old passport I had as a child. My current passport has no Israeli stamps on it. Additionally, my last name is not a common Jewish last name, but it is not an uncommon German-Jewish lastname.

Any info on the above two questions would be greatly appreciated!!
