You step off the air-conditioned van into a city that alternates between gleaming glass and time-worn alleys. The Dubai Outlet Mall hums with discount racks and wide corridors; a half hour later the Gold Souk’s narrow lanes close in, the air thick with metal and gossip as shopkeepers polish bracelets. Along Dubai Creek at Al Seef, the water nudges the promenade and the old wooden windows watch the parade of tourists and traders.
