The day begins with the sun lifting over the Persian Gulf, light glancing off glass towers as an air‑conditioned coach slips through Dubai’s modern avenues. Travelers step out onto Jumeirah’s white sand for a quick photo, feel the gulf breeze dare them closer to the water, then move inland where the city’s older edges — the creek and souks — press history into the present.
