Step aboard a traditional wooden dhow as the city lights along Dubai Creek begin to flicker, and the water takes on the same amber tone as the souk lamps. The boat rocks with a steady rhythm—the creek itself almost nudging you forward—while the skyline alternates between the Rolex World Trade Center’s glass face and the low-slung profiles of old trading houses.
