Morning light cuts across glass and sand as the minivan peels away from Dubai’s cooler towers into the warm lull of the coastline. The tour moves at a steady, deliberate pace: a drive along Jumeirah Beach Road with the Burj Al Arab rising like a curved sail; a photo-stop framing Atlantis from the Palm’s crescent; then a short walk through the canals and wooden bridges of Madinat Jumeirah where the water nudges you along.
