The dhow dips and slides along Dubai Creek as lanterns flare and the city’s reflected glass and old coral-stone facades trade glances. Guests settle at long tables under a low wooden awning while the water dares you to look away — currents pushing the vessel past spice-scented souks, merchant houses, and the low arches of century-old creekside wharves.
