The plane noses upward and Dubai reels away beneath you: the palm-shaped crescent glints like a scale of an impossible sea creature, the Marina a cluster of glass teeth. At 13,000 feet the wind stops being background noise and starts to urge you forward; the instructor clips the harness, checks the canopy, and the world reduces to geometry—curves of coastline, the shimmer of the Persian Gulf.
