Emily, sorry to tell that you are not eligible or the 72 hour free transit. So you need to get a tourist or transit type entry permit in advance. The consular officer may ask you to provide a valid passport, a photocopy of the passport's data page, a filled application form with a recently-taken color bare-headed photo stuck on it, and flight tickets.
