The tour begins with the city unfurling like a map under a low desert sun — glass towers glint, the Persian Gulf nudges the shoreline, and an abra patches the city’s older veins with a current of passengers. Travelers move from the spice-scented alleys of Deira to the soaring rectangle of the Dubai Frame, where past and present literally face off.
