You step out of your private vehicle into a city that moves at two speeds: a deliberate, golden-heat rhythm along the shoreline and a fast-cut, glass-and-steel pulse downtown. The driver waits as you take a photo of the Dubai Frame catching the afternoon sun; beyond it the older creekside neighborhoods whisper of the city's past.
