The wooden dhow slips from Al Seef with a soft thump, oud-tinged breeze carrying the scent of fresh dough and sea-salted air. From the open-top deck the city unfolds in layers: wind towers and low stone houses of Al Fahidi give way to glinting glass and the distant silhouette of the Burj Khalifa, while ferries and abras stitch the creek’s current into the city’s rhythm.
