How to book a 2 or 3 day layover in Dubai?
Hi all,
Sorry if that question has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer.
On my next return trip from Hong Kong to Lyon (HKG-LYS-HKG), I would like to stop in Dubai for 2-3 days to visit on my way to Lyon.
On Emirates' website it says that I should book a layover with their travel partner in my city, but is there an option to do that myself without going through a travel agency?
Do I have to book separate one-way flights, 2 return flights, or can I include a long layover in my normal HKG-LYS-HKG return flight?
Thanks for your answers!

HKG - DXB
DXB - LYS
LYS - HKG with the appropriate stopover dates.
