Instead of a LHR-DXB loop, why not LHR-MCT? MCT seems much more interesting to me than DXB (unless your into glass and steel). You also get a few more miles.
Depends on what your after in the end.

So... if the OP is taking his wife, I would go to MCT, if I were just going to do an MR, DXB is better due to more flights etc.
