More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Abu Dhabi before the city has fully woken—highway lights blur as the Gulf narrows and Dubai's skyline punctures the horizon. The day unfolds as a sequence of contrasts: glass-and-steel towers giving way to low-lying traditional souks, reclaimed islands rising from the sea, and the steady current of Dubai Creek that still carries the city's trading past.
