The dhow slips away from the dock as the city lights begin to claim the sky, wooden timbers creaking softly beneath the weight of the evening. From the deck, the contrast is immediate: low-rise wind-tower façades and trading houses give way to glass-and-steel silhouettes mirrored in the creek. Salt air mixes with the hum of the city — this is Dubai seen from water, where its maritime past steers the present.
