You step into Dubai through the tinted glass of a comfortable, air‑conditioned van and the city unmasks itself in clean lines of glass and sand-swept coastlines. The first stop is Jumeirah Mosque seen from the exterior — its ivory façade and peaked domes catching the light — then the vehicle glides along Jumeirah Beach Road past the photogenic curve of the Burj Al Arab.
