The city opens like a film as your private luxury SUV eases away from the hotel — glass towers glint, a ribbon of water at the Creek dares you to cross, and the Palm juts into the Gulf like engineered coastland. Over five hours you move from the compact, sand-streaked rooms of Al Fahidi Fort to the gleam of Dubai Marina, trading narrow souk alleys for broad, modern promenades.
