The city arrives before you as glass and sea—shipping containers painted bright at Port Box Park, a harbor promenade that frames the skyline like a modern sketch. Start here with a brisk walk along the quay, then slip into the market maze of Souq Waqif where spice stalls scent the air and falcons rest in shaded cages, their eyes steady as a challenge.
