Boarding begins on Al Seef’s river edge as lanterns and city lights reflect on the creek—wooden planks settle underfoot and the dhow slips from the quay. The breeze carries the faint scent of spice and sea; on one side, glass skyscrapers blink their evening pulse, on the other, wind-tower houses and low-slung heritage facades peer back like old neighbors.
