A passenger reported the captain announced that they were turning around to return to Dubai due to a heat sensor in the left main wheel well showing a very high temperature which could indicate a fire in the wheel well, but could also be a sensor malfunction. After some time the aircraft turned around again and the captain announced they had been able to rule out a fire and were now sure of a sensor malfunction. They were now again on their way to Zurich.
