The sun slides low over the Persian Gulf and the Burj Al Arab’s silhouette sharpens against a spill of orange—deck boards thrum underfoot as the 50‑foot yacht slips away from the marina. Salted air pushes at your face; the city’s glass towers keep watch while the water dares you to slow down. Cameras click as the boat arcs toward the Jumeirah coastline and the iconic sail rises on the horizon.
