The engine’s staccato hum cuts through harbor air as the RIB slips away from the marina, spray flecking sunglasses and casting the first view of Dubai’s vertical skyline. Along the 90‑minute run toward Palm Jumeirah, curved towers pivot in sunlight — Cayan’s twist, the crescent silhouette of Atlantis, and the distant wheel of Ain Dubai — while gulls wheel like punctuation.
