The dhow eases away from the quay and the city lights begin to scatter across the water like a second skyline. Onboard, chatter settles into the low hum of background music while the creek slips past, daring you to watch Old Dubai unspool — spice shops, wind towers and low-slung façades reflected in the wake.
