The dhow slips away from the dock and the lights of modern Dubai slide into a slow-moving ribbon. Onboard, the air carries the salt-and-dust scent of the creek as lanterns throw warm pools of light over teak decks and dining tables. Passengers watch the skyline trade places with low-lying historic warehouses — a city of glass and steel reflected in an older waterway that still remembers its trading days.
