The lights of Dubai creep across the water as a traditional wooden dhow slides away from Creek Beach, lanterns throwing warm circles on the creek. On deck, the city’s skyline—low-slung souks, the buttressed form of Al Fahidi Fort, and the occasional sweep of Infinity Bridge—passes like a printed postcard while the stern’s grill sends up the scent of spice and smoke.
