Airport; Procedure
Dubai airport was engaged in a one-runway operation due to a disabled aircraft on Runway 12L. We were cleared to line up and wait on Runway 12R behind an Emirates 777. Taking the runway the crew visually checked in the approach direction for landing traffic. No approaching traffic was in sight. The Tower cleared us to takeoff and told another aircraft to slow to minimum approach speed. On takeoff roll; at approximately 100 KTS the Tower instructed us to stop our takeoff roll. At the same time we heard them tell another aircraft to execute a go around. Captain executed rejected takeoff procedures. Flying first officer and relief pilot executed their procedures of communicating; assessing; and telling the passengers to remain seated. As we rolled out we observed the aircraft on the go-around fly directly overhead at approximately 500 FT to 1;000 FT. We cleared the runway and executed the appropriate electronic rejected takeoff checklist; and referred to the appropriate Flight Manual and FOM procedures and guidance. Due to an inoperative deferred Brake Temperature Monitoring System guidance indicated an approximate 80-minute brake cooling time before next departure. Aircraft returned to gate and appropriate maintenance inspections were completed.
