The day begins with sunlight sliding across white marble domes as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque glows against a clear sky. A licensed guide leads the group through sweeping courtyards while a photographer captures wide-angle frames of arches, chandeliers and the famously hand-knotted carpet — memories formed as much by light as by place.
